So I'm rigging a fish... the main body and tail are driven by Bend deformers and works great. However, now I need to be able to animate the fins, which I'd like to do with joints and/or IK. But, when the model deforms, the joints won't follow. I've tried using geometry, point, and parent constraints, but none of those work.

Any input?

Hi..
Create Hair folicle where the bone is placed, selecting the geometry. Now parent the bone to the geometry.

Rgds,
