Hi,

I'm trying to attach some static geo to a moving sim, but it's not working. I have tried every workflow I know, but no dice.
Ive tried: point deform, transform pieces, VEX, youtube tutorials, older forum posts...I mean nothing works. I must be missing something simple.
I have included a folder with the static geo, as well as 24 frames from my sim.

***EDIT: THE STATIC CURVES MUST MAINTAIN THEIR ORIGINAL POSITIONS. The geo is from a speedtree, so they cannot be randomly scattered. I just need them to move with the rest of the geo and maintain their orientations.***

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Try a rivet.

You can do it this way. but its not very fast.
It would be better to scatter the small twigs on your tree.

Thank you both for the ideas. ONE NOTE: the geo curves are from a speetree...so they cannot be randomly scattered. They have to maintain their original positions. I just need them rigidly attached to their parent branch so they maintain their original orientations when moving.

Try packing all the curves using the Assemble sop and then point deforming. The smaller branches will stay rigid but will update orientation/position and follow your wire sim.
