Hi everyone,
I'm still pretty new to modelling and have been stuck on this problem for a while. I've modelled dog tags on a chain and want to animate it falling. I've tried applying hinge constraints and then gravity to make it fall into the correct shape. However, when I press play, it freezes until I resign to the fact that it won't unfreeze and I force quite the programme. I'm guessing it could have to do with the amount of constraints I've applied and my iMacs ability. Does anyone know if there is a different way to animate a necklace without using so many hinge constraints?
My computer specs are
Processor 3.2 GHz intel core 5
AMD Radeon R9 M380 graphics processor with 2GB of GDDR5 memory.
