On (10:17) Where can I find the Object to constraint tool on the 2017 Maya version?

[@AmamiUsagi]

In the FX menu, under the nConstraint tab, Points to Surfaces. :)

make the cable a closed mesh and turn ncloth pressure up but invert the gravity direction is my first thought. probably model cable straight and key frame after,

Perfecto y claro. Gracias

Great tutorial! I'm also stuck at the part were my wire keeps collapsing on itself.

There's not enough control to better shape it. It's ok for very straight forwards, super basic movement, but couldn't be used for most things where the shape needs changing, or other objects might intersect, or the coil would penetrate itself.

how do i add more control verts

OMG dude, you help me a lot,I`m troubling how to simulate sth like two sails connect each other,now the problem is solved >_

It is also an example of how ncloth is not fit for doing that.

the cable is too much rigid
