Lightwave Community at SimplyLightwave - View Single Post - animating a line/ribbon that grows and bends through a map

Any one got any ideas on how to do this, I have to create numerous animations that will render out to swiftLW2 plugin so the geometry needs to be 4 sided polys to render in .swf

The animated ribbon needs to start from one position then stretch with bends in all 3 axis at different times untill it reaches its final destination - pretty straight forward you would think but it has me stummped - I am using LW7.5c on WinXP

It is for an interactive map systems with multiple start points and destinations.

Cheers
