  • how do you get live bezier lines to look smooth?

    Posted by Jason Karl on January 23, 2012 at 5:23 pm

    I am trying to make some active bezier lines to look smooth, but they end up drawing out jaggy
    I am using cc particle world tied to a null object that moves around in 3d space, they flow nicely but they look blocky.

    any ideas on what i can do to do have them draw out fluidly?

    Have you tried using the “Smoother”? It’s under the Window tab, once you have the smoother window open, select all your keyframes and hit apply.

    Could we have some screen shots to see what you’re talking about? Or maybe even a project file?

    I tried the smoother and it didn’t seem to do anything, but i can only apply i to the null object that the lines follow,
