I recently worked on a dreadnought mech that has cables hanging down from the pelvis to the legs. I am starting to rig the model and have no idea how to rig these cables.

Does anyone have any recomendations?

Take a look at THIS, if you stop before you disconnect the tip then that will do the job nicely.

Take it easy,
