Attempting to animate a ribbon on a gift coming untied...anyone have any tips or past experiences doing this? I was thinking a straight up cloth sim might be too difficult to control. Was thinking of having the loops and loose ends hand animated but once the knot comes undone I'll need to switch to some kind of single, simulated mesh I guess. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Did this recently......made a hybrid

We animated by hand using clusters and birail animated surface, then used a shape animation to transition "birailed" surface to cloth simmed object
