Thank you.

I wish.  I'm not quite to that point yet (although I was close to breaking
down and trying to simulate it physically).
There's actually nothing physical about the motion of the whip, except that
it maintains a constant length.
The motion was created by trial and error with sin waves.

A future enhancement will definitely be to add some cloth simulations, or at
least some clothes to start with.
