talking about form 2004-05-12 - By Graham D Clark

Yes it's fine for ropes and I have rigged MANY, to many, far too many,
in the last month, keeping length and width fine.
Besides, regardless of info selection volume, if it looks right, it is
right :)
If wanting to have object change with length of curve tho (why its not
in the ops PPG like in other 3D apps I dunno) a kludgy expression or
ScOp will keep it looking the same.
For other things that have stretching issues, perhaps layer your
deformers, ie to ripple or bend something defoem by curve or XSI lattice
first, then deform that. Also offer the advantgae of propegation and
easily replacing the geometry being deformed in a NLA way, as we
currently can't change geo or move OP stacks and reliant clusters etc
easily in XSI :(
