Could someone please help me?  I need a macro, include file, whatever,
that takes one (1) point and draws a bunch of points, like in a string,
that have mass, velocity, and tensile strength.  I'm trying to create a
bunch of antennas for a character I'm making, but can't seem to make
them move with the rest of him.  I did find a resource for this kind of
thing:
http://freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/models/m_string.htm
I've been unable to make much sense of it, however.  Arrays are Greek to
me.
Oh, and the points need to be able to be called into a spline {}.

TIA.

I do not know if i totally understood your problem, but I think you are
trying to do an animation of masses elastically linked and moved
according to the movement of a character.  

Because I am not experienced in animations, some more concrete
descriptions, especially about how the charakter movement is given,
would be helpful.  I am doing that mechanics stuff at university right
now and could possibly help you but it will get quite complicated if you
include bending of the strings.
