And I almost forgot, for 2015 and older there is a way to do it but it is obscure and limited. It's called a Flow Path object. Basically you animate an object to a path, then modify that set up with Flow Path object which then applies a FFD deformer to the object on curve and deforms it relative to the path. The real intent of it was to facilitate deformed motion along a curve, not as a modeler the way SI 3D was set up. If memory serves me correct, there are ways to hack the DAG connections in the hypergraph to make it function independent of the motions keys, but I don't recall how to do that. It's the same or similar process that was used for hacking an animation on path to make it a "rail constraint" I think.

Maya has a command called Curve Warp in the Deform menu. It was introduced in Maya 2016 I think. Its fairly similar to SI's Deform by Curve.

This place is still the best to ask questions like this, because people here understand, so please bear with me. I am looking for a Maya equivalent to XSI's Deform by Curve, but have found nothing like it. How do people do similar stuff in Maya? Thanks! Morten ------ Softimage Mailing List.
