Hydraulic hose connected to a cylinder animation: I have a curve composed of 2 nodes and one of its nodes is connected to a hook which is attached to an object that moves.

It works fine in the editor but in the Verge3D canvas the hook is ignored.

Is this possible to achieve? Am I missing something?

Thanks.

As much as I wish hooks were supported…they arent. In similar situations I have run into I use one of the two options: armature or shapekeys.

Thanks,

I’ve tried shapekeys, which is a mess to try and loop, Armature is also ignored on publish…

what version of v3D and B3D are you using. I use both shapekeys and armatures for this stuff all the time….I have actually used bendybones on a project once too..soooo…let me know wondering is something has changed.

Simple example of armatures and shape keys in B3D 4.2.3 and V3D. 4.9.1

Project Zip with blend file: https://v3d.net/1avo
demo of project here: https://v3d.net/1avp
click on a cylinder to activate animation
left cylinder – armature based, right cylinder shape key based.
