flexible gooseneck

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?

 

Corey,

thank you for replying to me post.

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
