Make an elastic rope between two figure parts

Hello everybody!

I wanted to make a kind of elastic attached to two parts of a figure. Lets say I have someone stretching an elastic between his left hand and his right hand.

I saw I have to rig it and create bones, but I'm not able to find any kind of tutorial to do so, and my rigging skills are not really hight.

Can you help me?

Thank you!

    Well, firstly you can't literally do this as the bones in the hierarchy can only split apart, not join together again (or more formally, a boen can have only one parent - at some point your rope would have to have a bone with two parents, one going back up the line to the left hadn and one going back up the line to the right hand). You might be able to fake it with two chains, one growing from each hand, that are set to point at each other. Another option might be to use dForce to simulate a model, rather than relying on rigging.

    Sorry for the late answer!

    I have to try dForce, but you talked about chains. I'll go check it out. I may find some tutorial or something about chains.

    Thank you for the answer! I'll come back when I have news!
