  Searchlight

  Posted by Mike Petty on February 22, 2010 at 8:31 pm

  Apologies for coming back to the well so quickly but I have another one stumping me. I need to have 3 or 4 searchlights tracking back and forth behind a logo. It was easy drawing the cone shape for each searchlight and filling it with a nice gradient and softening it. But…how do I get the cones to sweep back and forth with a bottom fixed point (off screen)?

  Move the anchor point and use an Oscillate parameter behavior on Rotation.
