🧵 How do I connect ring and leather?

How am I actually supossed to do something like pic related when placing straps and rings like this all over a character body?
Placing the straps was easy with curves, but I can't think of an easy or better way to do this than manually bending the ends of each strap converging on a ring to make it look like they are actually joint together, the look is not great and is extremely time consuming, what is the less retarder version to do something like this on blender?

Model a connection mesh you instantiate at every ring and tweak a bit manually to twist and bend in the correct direction. I had a similar issue many years ago when I had to model this sneaker with each lace forming to match the eyelets.

That does seems like a good idea, I am surprised no one has mentioned or shown a similar technique like this before

You can't do something like that on blender it's just not possible, use zbrush instead.

Gonna shill this addon because it's pretty handy if you want to save some time from making your own system.
