I need to create the effect of having what looks like a vine growing out of a character. It will then move along the ground go down under the ground and sprout back out wraping itself around a characters leg. I could probably go about this by rigging a long vine and then animating it but am wondering if it might be possible to get a good result using dynamics. I asume the 1st part of this would involve creating a curve plotting the direction the vine will take. From here on I am guessing but can I attatch a curve flow effect which I then attatch a dynamic effect to. I have only used dynamics to create hair and fire and so if anyone can give any pointers and suggestions it would be a great help.

Many thanks,
