T-Rex: Mesh To Spline with Animated Characters
00:27:00 Limit selections to Edge Selection Tags and Polygon Selection Tags. Creating character accessories like eyebrows, belts, jewelry, lips, etc is easier than ever! Use Mesh To Spline to create perfect Rail Splines to stop Sweeps from randomly spinning and popping.

Dynamics and Running Figure
