Hey everyone,

I will be creating a rig that will roughly follow the shape and structure of a
Chinese dragon (as seen in parades and kites), and which will move like one as
well. I was wondering if anyone had any initial suggestions. The limbs do not
have to be overly articulated, nor does will the rig be very complex. I would
like it to have some sort of soft constraints/simulation for the flowing motion
of the body limbs tail and hairs.

I'd appreciate any input,
Brad Abrahams
