Modeling and Modifying a 3D Arrow

[hotshotiguana]

I think for what I am doing a 3DS Max arrow is not going to be the best option (although it definitely looks better than any arrow I have seen online), due to the changing control points, the changing width on the arrow, and the beginning and end points. I can implement this with 100 (or more) viz.LINE_STRIP segments to create this arched line, but it is definitely not the cleanest or best looking way to approach this. Is it possible in Vizard to create a plane, a cylinder, or a box that can bend with respect to about 10-15 control points on a half-circle? I am really hoping there is a way to create a single unbroken segment to connect these two points.
