Issues with seatbelt system

[antonio_p3m]

Hello there,

I'm currently on a rough deadline, and I need to create seatbelt system (based on that I will need to animate realistic movement of seat buckling).
I started with Tracer system with nulls, but unfortunately I'm not able to achieve good results....also it seems like I can not control orientation/rotation of the NULLS on the curves, it frustrates me.

Is there any more practical way to approach this task?

Hi Antonio,

Here is an example based on your file. (Thank you for sharing the file and using Wetransfer)

The Nulls in your example needed all child objects to produce a Rail to rotate the main nulls.

Let me know if you need something else.

My best wishes for your project
