Ok. i would use joints(@smooth skinning) and forward animation.(at least it is first came to my mind). You might want to experiment with maya built in deformers. Read maya online manual "Character Setup" and try to figure out which way works best for this particular case. There is no direct answer to your question...and there are no people who know how to solve the problem you faced. Use your imagination and believe your feelings...Riggers try 1000 possible combinations to find the best way to set the model. The the fully rigged model sent to animator who will test it for a while...to find the situations when set just doesn't work well. then the model sent back to rigger...and others ways are being explored...the idea behind this story is simple: try to try! don't be afraid to find your very own way to rig your snake! if it works then it is OK.

Vot tak vot "GENAZVALE"! I potom pochemu "no russian"? Ti ved' smog razobrat'sja gde post your message? right? znachit naviki obshenija na russkom est....hmmm..ok..never mind...

Cheers

УВЕРЕН ?
То есть, совету не внял, документацию не читал...Могу тебя огорчить, ты ошибаешься.


You think so much and so wrong. heh-heh:)
