Hi, I tried to make the strap of the poserworld tote bag dynamic so when the bag isn't being held, the strap falls naturally on the bag, however my attempts resulted in freezes and perpetual calculations. If any of you feel like trying it, please let me know how to do this as I think it would make for some cool pics. Love esther
I aim to update it about once a month. Oh, and it's free!

I just had a quick look, out of interest, and my guess is that the strap is intersecting with itself somewhere along its length - probably where the shoulder pad is fitted on, or possibly at the ends where it loops back on itself. Self intersection will crash the cloth simulator, unfortunately. You may have to use more conventional morphing methods, like the magnets (or asking Steve!) :)

If i remember right i made the morphs by making it dynamic but i think i made the whole strap constrained so the bag would just relax a little to get the morphs....i'd try constraining the area where the shoulder pad is and all around the strap joints if that doesn't work (it probably won't as it will create a sharp edge) give me a shout and i'll make one with a dynamic strap........Steve
