Subject: Simulating a chain whip



Hi

I am looking for advice about creating a convincing aggressive chain whip
animation.

I was asked to find a way to simulate it as it would probably look more
realistic than if an animator handles it.

Trying with Syflex right now but not really getting good results.. it seems as
if it's missing some of the weight transfer physic.



Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks!





P.s. We tried with XSI Tails and it's really not working for us.
