    Hi all,

    If I were to make a rope, which would be less taxing on the CPU? 50+ joints on copied textures or a rope made out of bones in your favorite 3d editor?

    I ask becaue my rope would have to spin around pretty fast, and we all know how crazy joints can get with high speeds.

    I cannt say much as you didnt told any specifics about rope. I would just point out to a third possibility of Rope with Cloth.

    No cloth. It would be something as simple as 2 characters with a rope between themselves almost using the rope for a jump rope.

    That is some heavy reading, but I will certainly look into it. TY!
