hi there
what i really miss in c4d is a cable-tool that allows the following things:
calculate a sweep-nurbs splines bezier tangents using a free 'elasticity value' (C). it should take care of objects that are positioned below the spline starting and ending point (A). it must recognise any object in any direction (D).  the cables must have a input field for a 'specific' weight (B) of the cable material.


the second image shows the spline direction from yellow to red. yellow is up in the cable y-position.
the plugin should have a thickness adjustment and most important: THE OUTER RADIUS OF THE FORM-SPLINE HAS TO BE IN CONTROLL AND NOT ONLY THE SPLINE ITSELF.
i think it is a tricky mission but i think someone would pay some money for it. i would! please notice that i'm not into programming an therefore i do not know how complicated this is. if someone can solve this problem, thank you so much in advance!

hhave you tried the 'dynamics' set of plugins ? I'm not sure but i think the is somthing like what you describe in it. It also have things like clothes and friction effects.
But I only heard about Dynamics, so I can be wrong.

This is my opinion, too... I think a little "just-for-Cable-Plugin" would be the thing the most users want to have. In C4d-Forum.de its a kind of frequently asked Question, how to do a SweepNurb Cable, which will use an collission detection WITHOUT the expensive Dynamics...

Sorry, i didn't know about its price. I've just checked and it's effectively very expensive for a some cables !
