Thanks for the comments and suggestions Michael & Magic. I've started looking at Twist and flow. What awesome functions.

Magic your speaker is great work - thanks for taking the time to explain your process for it.

I realize my simple braid is pretty basic but doing it gave me a lot of initial insight into the power of nurbs modeling using MoI. Quite different from the polygonal methods.

Anyway I hope to get a full grasp and stretch out and see where I can take it.

There's lots of great stuff on this site and in this community.
