:scream: I have to simulate an animated bicycle chain....I can thing of some ways( path deformation or something like that).But i want to know the most 'processor friendly' solution.
Crapy solutions like morphs is out of the questions cause i'will have to show close ups

Go to LWHuB.com and download the Grow and Slide file (here a fool path:
http://www.lwhub.com/downloads/growandslide.zip), load the scene and turn ON Use morphed position for bones (one of them will turn for all of them). Play the animation...
Search this forum for some Mike thread about this stuff.
tip: create scelagones along Z axis.

Also in Flay i saw some tank belt tut. i think it can be useful for bike chain...
