Hello!! Awesome script!! I've been trying to use it to simulate earrings on a female character.
The character is animated. I do a point on poly constraint, constraining the start control curve to a polygon selection on her ear. When she moves, the chains move is very different direction ( it appears they move to "world center of scene) and then keep simulating.
Other times, during quick body movements, the chains break/detach completely..
Please fix this or tell me of a workaround. I really love this script.

Thank you, I'm glad to read that I helped you so much!! Soon I'll write a "top donators list" in the script description. Waiting for your donation.
Thanks!

Of course the script works only with Maya 2012. It should work also on Mac OS (never tested but Maya is the same!). I you wanna be sure you can download the demo version of Maya 2012 from autodesk.com.
Let me know if works properly.
Thank you!!

Ciao Gianluigi,
grazie per il commento.
La procedura corretta per utilizzare lo script è quella descritta nel file "How to use.txt":
- copia lo script nella cartella script di Maya (../documenti/maya/scripts)
- seleziona una o più curve
- all'interno dello script editor (scheda Python), scrivi ed esegui esclusivamente queste due righe (senza virgolette):
"from chainCreator import *
chainCreator()"
Così facendo Maya va a cercare lo script nell'apposita cartella in cui lo hai copiato e lo esegue.
Non puoi aprire il file con un editor di testo in quanto è compilato in binario.
Spero di esserti stato utile.
Ciao Valerio!
prima di tutto grazie per aver condivso il tuo script. Dal video mi sembra ottimo...ma con Maya 2012 non riesco a caricarlo...anzi la cosa strana è che aprendo il file in un editor si vedono solo simboli non codificati correttamente...gli stessi cha appaiono se importo lo script. Per caso è un problema noto che già conosci?
Grazie mille!
Hi Valerio, the script looks awesome. Does it work with MAC. I am running 2011 atm but may upgrade soon. Would like to test out the script.. Tried with maya 2011 but no joy. As you said you created it for 2012.
