Hi this is a followup to my previous post:
I am attempting to perform 3 deformations on a mesh.
I have a tube that will deform along a path, then rotate on its own longitudinal axis (while bent), then change shape w/blend shapes.
I had thought that I could do this w/flow path and blendshapes, but when I apply flow path, the object won't rotate on its own longitudinal axis.
My next attempt was to use a wire deformer on the tube, and deform the wire using Flow Path. I tried a number of approaches to adding the Flow Path Deform to the wire (and its Wire Base), but still no luck.
Anyone know how to pull this off?
Thanks.
