Hi,
nice work.
I've done something similar last year.

Spline IK in Blender is still needed unfortunatly.

What if we all could contract a developer, and pay him to develope that tool ?

Had this been available earlier, Elephants Dream could have featured actual elephants :-)

Good job

Very cool, I will be looking for a way to limit the Squash\Strech factor of each bone in the chain(for easyer animation) but overall this is a nice implementation.

Thank you very much. This is still WIP and I hope to release final version by the end of summer holidays.

Very nicely done JiriH, I remember the thread at BA. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates it, wonderful work.

man, even though there's a lot of confusion in the blender community about the utility of spline ik, there will be quite a few people who will be very happy when actual spline ik comes to blender. this looks like one step closer. thanks, JiriH.

Interesting. I suppose this just gives you more overall control of your object? (Such as for elephants trunks - as JiriH said.) Alright, thanks, this may be useful.

God bless,
