Oooh! Please do experiment, Steven!

Trying to get a catenary curve on a chain (even one with "smart-pose") is a real PITA!

Cheers,
Diolma
Edited to add: The best I ever achieved was to use the cloth room to calculate the curve; used a long strip of cloth attached at each end to a cube, moved the cubes towards each other at frame 20 and calculated. Then I exported the strip as .obj, and attached the chain-links manually in a modelling app, using the strip as a guide... Tedious..
