Rigging Load Visualizer

A rotatable rigging scene with force vectors drawn at each point, so the geometry of the load stops being abstract.

Parameters

Readout

Vector length is proportional to force. A point that exceeds its safe range turns red and is listed in the risk panel.
PEAK: 0%

∞ HOW TO WORK IT

Step by step

  1. Pick a scene, which sets the geometry.
  2. Set the load and the angles between the legs.
  3. Read the vectors — length is magnitude, colour is margin.
  4. Find the peak load point, which is where things fail.
  5. Adjust until every point is inside its safe range.

∞ WHAT IT REPORTS
