vertex to vertex, the deformation spline is a smooth curve running from joint

to joint. The Bend, Bias, and Tension spinners can change the shape of the

curve, much as you can rotate or scale the handles at a spline vertex.

The deformation spline also takes into consideration twisting and scaling of

the skeleton’s links. At the Link sub-object level, you take control of the

behavior of the deformation spline, and subsequently gain full control of the

skin’s behavior relative to the skeleton’s movement.
