   Hi!

   Just been looking on YouTube at a really impressive TD showreel and it featured a spine setup that utilises a C++ DG Node. I've come across the spinewave and ribbon setups in the past but this is new to me. Had a look on the internet for more information but proved fruitless.

   Could anybody give me a simple quick explanation of what this is and what it does, or point me in the right direction?

   Cheers, Happy New Year!

   Not sure how he's done it, but uses widgets to control the shape of the squash and stretch - any ideas on this also?

   Cheers

   Yeah, figured it (duh!)

   C++ is maya's scripting language and DG node stands for the dependency graph connections - ie the node connections made in the hypergraph. Basically he's saying he's used a bit of MEL and the hypergraph.
