Posted this on PostForum, and thought I'd try here also.
This is probably pretty easy for you expresso users out there. I want to animate a bones chain along a spline in a snake-like manner. Seems to me there was a plug-in or tutorial I saw awhile back that did that. I don't care how it is done, as long as it can follow a spline path. (I'm currently using the 8.2 bundle)
The solutions I've seen so far (Such as Bone Tools and SplineToBone) build a bone chain along the length of the spline, and sticks the bones to it so it will deform with the spline.
What I am trying to do is to actully animate the bone chain along the spline path so the parent bone and its children will follow along the curves of a path as it animates along it over time on up the spline path.
Thanx
Patrick
