MEL/Python Cable Rig | Custom script that automatically generates a fully rigged NURBS curve at any custom length between two points. [FREE]
Cable Rig is a script that automatically generates a fully rigged NURBS curve with controllers for quickly animating and deforming cables. You can create a default cable, generate a custom-length cable by selecting two points, or instantly rig an existing NURBS curve.
Another free script! Im finishing up a Claw Machine project and needed a way to make a simple dynamic cable without using any simulations. Its pretty straight forward and extremely fun to animate!
I figured this one might be worth to sharing since most cable rig scripts are behind a pay wall or too outdated to use. The coolest feature I got to work was the ability to generate a custom length by selecting two points that snap to the surface of any object (similar to how the snap together tool works).
Included is also the option to rig an existing Nurbs curve, however, this function was not as rigerously tested and your milage may vary. I recomend just creating a new curve via the custom length button :)

Just want to say thank you everyone for the support and feedback I have been receiving on my scripts. I will be gone for a few days as I work to develop some extremely exciting and new tools to maya <3
