Dynamic Catenary 1.0.0 3D Tools 3.5 Community

A dynamic catenary node and shader for Godot engine (for hanging chains, ropes etc.).

"In physics and geometry, a catenary is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends in a uniform gravitational field"

- Wiki

The idea came from an excellent tutorial by Alan Zucconi, in which he describes the math behind catenaries. I used these formulas plus some original ideas to implement a new catenary node type in Godot.
