What is the best way to create a flexible gooseneck(like in desktop lamps) and animate flexing?



Thanks

I would say use a sweep along a spline and then lock each point you want to move in the animation to a dummy part. add the animation to the dummy parts. SW should update the sweep with every frame. Mike Wilson may have a better example on his site.

For some reason Mike Wilson "Bending pipe" doesn't work on my system. Pipe stays straight on animation. Any advise?

I tried to do exactly what you said but still have problems. Can you please create a simple example for me? I really appreciate your help.

Thanks, Alex
