A scene I'm working on calls for chains, to hang lighting globes from. The scene is the Stone of Tear, from the WOT book, "The Dragon Reborn", by Robert Jordan of course. Here's a quick prototype, I'm doing some architectural research so don't mind the garbage-looking arches. Those will be re-modeled... But I need to make chains hanging the lights which obviously don't exist in this scene. I want to make GOOD chains, links that can actually be used in Maya with collision detection and gravity on so that they fall into place properly, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to do this? Of course, I'll be exporting the chains to Bryce (Maya not only uses the .obj format, it's parent company is the one that created the format!) Anyone know how to go about such a thing?
