I want to create a shape, such as a gift ribbon of fixed length.
With color that varies along the length of the ribbon.
And give it a curved path in 3D.

Further, I want to animate the path of the shape, with the above color
variation following the path of the ribbon as the ribbon moves.

I am reading through the documentation as time permits because I have other
projects in mind, but could use a little information toward this goal.


Has this already been done? If so, would someone provide a reference?
If it hasn't been done, are the following sections useful to the task?


"1.3.1.4 Sphere Sweep Object" promising except it is a sphere instead of
flat
"1.3.1.5 Bicubic Patch Object" seems promising for the object
"2.2.1.9 Spline Identifiers" possible way to define the path

Thanks in advance
