I am trying to create a simple scene where balloons are tied together to an object using wires.(like in the movie “UP”)..

Im having balloons as packed RBD object and the parent point(where balloons are tied) as a separate rbd object.
and having wires also into the DOPnetwork as wire object..

Initially I dint simulate the wires but used the wire lines as a constriant network from SOP and made a spring constraint between balloons and parent using the wires as a constraint net, And It worked Perfectly.

Now I am turning the wires into wire object and trying to constraint the top of the wire to the balloons and bottom to the parent object, I am having matching @anchor_ids on wires and balloons.. But It doesnt work properly. If someone can explain how to constraint wires with rbd , It will be very helpfull for me.. And if someone already have a scene file for related to this please share it , Thanks a lot in advance..

Stupid base idea with cloth, should be possible with
RBD and Wires, too. It's really a base stupid scratch.

Have a look at the “Apply RelationShip” in DOPs, too.

Hope I understood your question right.

Thank you so much for your effort.. Your set-up is as simple as possible and working so cool!!.. I never thought of using cloth stitch constraint.Thanks for sharing your idea..This is more than enough for what I need …
But I would also like to learn using the constraint networks as it that method has more control over the sim like breaking the constraints dynamically and all.. and the main thing I want to learn is to built constraint set-up between RBD<>WIRE<>SBD<>staticObject …
Once again thanks for your help and such an effort to build a scene for me..

Did you found a way to constrain RBD objects with wires? I'm searching for a similar solution.

Maybe this is helpy:
