Hey, everybody
I have a pretty odd request. I am looking for a way to model fire hoses in Max but the problem I’m facing is the fact that I can’t just use a typical cylinder or the “hose” primitive . I need the hoses to be able to be animated to go from laying flat as seen in this photo:

to being cylindrical as you see in this photo: https://www.foodshield.org/preparedness/standards/assets/images/fire_hose.jpg
The animations will potentially be ported over to a game engine, so the usual constraints that come with that type of thing apply.
I’m completely stumped, so any nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
