/3/ - 3DCG

I'm working on a quick barbed-wire fence to add to my scene, and I figured I could just put together a quick wire and use the cloth sim to just have it hang naturally before I freeze it to use in the scene. My problem is that it's not really hanging like I want.

I'd like it to be somewhat taut, with only a small amount of slack in the wire, but no matter what I try it always just droops down like a wet noodle (webm related). Ideally I'd just want it to slack like half the amount in the webm.

Any tips? I've tried softbody instead of cloth sim, but that wasn't very good either.
I've got the wire pinned at either end by the way. I don't know if it's relevant information, but it might help.

Thanks.
