Andrey, >> Is it possible to conform an object to a path as it is moving along it? For example, a snake slithering along a path? << sure. You could do this with either skin.axp or bones pro. For the bones approach just animate a sequence of cubes which fit inside a snake following the path. The snake should then follow the path in an appropriate slithering manner. With skin, you would create a snake in the shaper/lofter then slice it into multiple sections and have them follow a path with slight time offsets (path get lofter, path follow, object tracks copy, slide position keys for each section by 2 or 3 frames later than previous section).
