Extruding tube animation possible in Unity?

If it is an animation you can capture in $$anonymous$$aya, then you can play it back in Unity. If you want it interactive, I do not know how you could achieve this.

You could try using multiple short tubes connected by joints, but I don't think that is what you are looking for. I know there are plugins that allow some mesh deformation (or editing) within Unity, and also ones for splines (for paths, etc).

Thank you for the response!

For the animation, I've been wanting to import the tube with its animation attached, pretty much like how you import a rig with an animation, ins$$anonymous$$d of a rendered out animation. The issue is that the tube is attached to a curve and I'm using the curve's attributes for the extruding AND the tube has subdivisions added to it when it extends. I totally understand why Unity doesn't like it.

I'll definitely be looking into those plugins. A spline path seems like a good step towards what I want.
