Has anyone seen the lws of a shark swiming along a path shaped like an S
in which the sharks body follows the path like it is swiming?

Ive tryed to achieve this for a fish myself in several ways :
* with bones and an IK null object for a goal (forget it) this is the
most logical way i thought but the fish object doesnt move once all the
keyframes have been set up.
* next was the old set up each bone to move a little along the heading
rotate and "repeat" the movement in motion graph for each bone. Getting
there but there must be an easyer way.
*my final attempt was to create an "s" shaped motion path save it and
load it for each bone.But because you have to ofset each sequential bone
the start looks like a pile of shit but the rest of the animation is sweet.

So there you go. Isaw that shark scene at a retailer just before i bought
lightwave(i was waiting for the pc version) so i have this creepy feeling
it was some sort of arexx script. and if it was i dont want to know about
it until its on the pc (well i do want to know about it but it just makes
me a little sad to know that there are so many good bits for da amiga and
ive just got to wait!)
impatienly your fellow lightwaver
