Dynamic tail

[Horganovski]

I made a tutorial a little while back on making dynamic rigs like this using spline IK and spring constraints, this method will work fine even if you dont have Mocca for soft IK.
You can find the tutorial over on the C4DCafe Here (http://www.c4dcafe.com/ipb/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=347)

I have a problem.
After I all have did exactly following directions video-tutorial, I have solved to group all components of the tail that subsequently to attach to parental object.
But after group all component, track record of the tail ceases to work.
But if remove for limits of the group Mid Controller and Tip Controller, to which aplying Constraint Spring, all begin to work.
That it is necessary to do so that and Mid Controller and Tip Controller, were enclosed in group and track record of the tail herewith worked.

Thank you. Excuse me for my repugnant english.

Mmmm...evil scorpion tail...
that's similar to XSI Tail, but it is more flexible than XSI's Tail

Recently I have seen the scene frog Whimpy.
His tail dinamic, but he is made only by means of MOCCA IK tag.

I tried to repeat this but beside me nothing do not leave.
Prompt as possible do the dinamic tail exactly as beside in scene frog Whimpy. Can there is lesson on creation exactly such dinamic tail.

The 10.5 rigging DVD shows how to set up the Rabbit ears for soft IK, the same kind of setup as Whimpys tail but a little more advanced in that you can blend between posable and dynamic.
