Flexible Bellows Tubing Bend

[bverboort]

Well... I've been beating my head lumpy on this one.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on a modeling technique for this?

I just want the bellows tube to follow the spline.

I'm guessing there's a way. I've approached it a few times from different directions using different tools... but keep coming up short on knowledge, buttons to push... or both.

Any and all advice humbly accepted and appreciated.

Best,

Brian

Well... I came up with the tedious method. Wonder if there is a better one?

And again I am unable to attach an image.

So here is a Screencast video

Just watched your video - yes, that'll be the way to do it.

Hi guys,

this is really interesting.

One step further: Has anybody tried to simulate in an animated model a silicone or rubber bellow that follows the movement in the animation of a ball joint or a rotating part?

I don't seem to find anything in the discussions.

Best wishes and a nice day to all
