I have recently been trying to recreate the effect of a weight (ball?) hanging from the mouse pointer, suspended by a thread, elastic or chain and exhibiting inertia, etc. I am a newbie, so the outlook seems rather grim. Is this at all possible? I’ve read Kirupa’s very good tutorial on Elasticity but am still lost… please help! And thanks in advance!
