Hello all,

I've been using the new tails in xsi 4 for a while now and think they are
fantastic! Lots of possibilities there for animation.
However I was wondering if there is anyway to apply them to a chain of
bones? I know you can create them from a curve (I guess it just does a chain
from curve first). So is there any way to skip this first stage and get a
"pick bones" ?

Regards,

Si.
