Mograph and Spline Effector
Posted by Simon Roughan on July 14, 2011 at 1:22 pmI have a piece of pipe, and i want it to grow piece by piece along a spline. I have it in a cloner, and have a spline effector. The problem is, the pieces wont bend around the curves. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks in advance

July 14, 2011 at 3:27 pmHmmmm, nearly. But I need the straight pieces of pipe to bend organicly round a curve. Can you suggest a way to set it up so?
Thanks again for your help… -

Lets just say 100 segments bend better than 1!Simon.
