Isn't there an IPAS called Python made just for that ???
If you don't want to buy the IPAS it look like a long tedious manual
job. We tried a similar process with a roll of 35mm movie film moving
and bending along a path. Its ashame in a way. I also work with
Softimage occasionally and doing something like what your talking
about is 3 mouseclicks away. I think its even in the tutorial. 1)You
create a spline ( or path ) 2) deform the object on the path say at
the beginning and then 3) transform the object along the path at a
given keyframe. Its wonderful!
