Mike It's called "furling" the sails. And the "scalloped" look of the furled square sails (the image you showed is of a square rigged ship) are called reefs. I'd use a pose slider. Run a vertical spline where you want to furl the sail, and in muscle mode work the sail as you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
