Animating a long snake

Coding

Hi

I like to know if there are any good tools to animate a long snake like creature. I found this Realtime spring script, but my creature is 50 over bones and 5000 frames, it gets very slow, and difficult to tweak.

Hey imtrobin!
Heres an example of using a free plugin called Trailer (from DSTorm) to make a snake follow a motion path. Ive also combined it with bones to make the snake rear up or do other things. :slight_smile:

ry adding a z line to the controller script. Just copy and paste the y line and change the y to z. Then add a ,z to the x,y line at the end. That way if you move your path in z space, it works.
