Hi.
How can you drive a mesh from a curve? As shown in this picture here?
I tried it with wrap but that only affects chunks och polygons and they wont actually fallow the curvature of the spline correctly, so after that I have no ide?

Hi ..
The curve is a control which drives the cv's of a spline curve, or the cv's of a curve added as influence object or the cv's of a wire deformer curve which is influencing the mesh.

Thanks shinyprem : ) I didnt get that to work unfortunately. You think you can set up an example file for me or describe it a bit more thoroughly? Thank you : )
