To cap the ends, the simple route is to attach a mesh to the ends. The option to cap them is an oversight on my end, didn’t think of that . I have it on my todo list, thank you.

To use a different mesh, you can have the rope drive a spline which is used by a spline mesh. There is also the VDSkinnedRope, but this is an older component and is a bit involved to use. But it does allow the use of any skinned mesh as long as it is rigged in a very specific way. Let me know if you’d like to try this route and I can go into the details.

Haha. I thought I was the only one worried about the ends. hehe I tried looking at the BP (i have little bp knowledge), and I can say that the “rope” is like generated via code and not by mesh? Also could we also have an option to taper the end aside from capping it? or make the diameter of the ends smaller or thinner? yes please hope it would be included in your update soon
What do you mean by the spline? That I could have a static mesh root and connect the spline to it? Sorry.
Yeah I tried the skinned rope but I need to use blender for example to attach bones right? Yes please share the details for the spline and VDskinnedrope. Thank you
