Path in 3D
Hi everybody,
is there a hack to move a vertex of a path in 3D by describing it

I have no idea what you are talking about. Sure position can be affected and controled with expressions, but what exactly are you trying to achieve?

I think Axel wants a mask to exist in 3D, not constrained to the plane of the solid on which it lies.
Sorry Axel, you can’t do that. A mask, whether open or closed, can only lie on the plane of the flat solid on which it lies.
To make a path which does not lie in one flat plane, you need to actually move an object through three dimensions. However, that path cannot be used to create a stroke, if that’s what you want.
You might want to look into Trapcode’s 3D stroke. However, it too has its limitations which can only be overcome by using a real 3D app.
Does that make sense?

I agree with Steve. Plus, if it’s useful as encouragement, it could be good saying that animating strokes in 3D space in a 3D application (like Cinema 4D) is so much easier than one fears before getting into it!
Just in case he means a motion path, sure… the motion paths nodes are just a spatial representation of position keyframes, which of course have 3D position coordinates. The b

Hi Adolfo
I’m just starting out with cinema 4d to use with my AE projects. I’m having trouble finding tutorials on animated strokes in cinema 4d and my fears are not yet at rest. Could you (or anyone else) point me in the direction of an article on this sort of thing?
Thankyou
Stephen Ross

To make an animated stroke thing in C4D, you can just use “sweep nurbs” on two splines and animate the growth property. Here’s a little tutorial about that
