Dave,
That is pretty cool, although I can't really say I understand how it works.
I tried substituting the sphere with other shapes, and it only worked with
the sphere. My snake is made up of disk-shaped sections, each with a ring of
scales, each of which has to be oriented in the direction of the spline, and
precisely scaled and spaced to create a realistic looking body. When I
worked this out, the only way I could find to accomplish that was with Chris
Colefax's Spline Macro. If your method will do that, and I can get a full
understanding of how it works, I will give it a try.
