Week 3 - Constraints

Looking at constraints I came up with the idea of a balloon floating through the sky with explosives attached to its string which blow up as it touches objects along the way. I have the idea of the balloon floating through the tunnel due to wind. I had several problems with the string apparently breaking. I still need to work on the mass of the crate to which the balloon is attached so that it will trail behind the balloon.



After hours of trying, I have finally managed to get the balloon to tug the box! I ended up making my own box in sketchup and adjusting the mass and density to 1. For some reason this would not work when I used a crate object from Sandbox and adjusting its physics. I have been working on creating a flowgraph for the balloon to pull the box through the tunnel but it would not work ... perhaps this will allow it to.
