Dumb Question of the Week

[nowhere man]

Okay, this is a really dumb question, but forgive me, I've never animated a wagging tail...

Okay, so after setting up an IK spline for the joints on the tail, what do you do then? Something about clusters? My notes aren't detailed enough. :(

Edit: I found a decent tutorial online. I think I've solved my own problem.

Yeah. After you've set up the Spline IK, select the Curve and switch to component mode. Then you assign a cluster to each Control vertex, and then animate the clusters.
