  evenly spreading out objects over an “Align to Spline”

  Posted by Bert Brown on June 2, 2008 at 3:10 pm

  i am making a lot of paths of cubes using align to spline. is there a way to evenly space out the amount of cubes by their “position” percentage using Xpresso?

  so if i have a spline with 10 cubes with the tags all set up, i can just do some sort of “iteration” link and they will automatically distribute themselves in 10 percent increments

  It’s probably possible using iteration nodes, but it would be a heckuva lot easier to use the Function>Arrange command. 🙂

  This is also trivial with MoGraph and some plugins — in case you want to animate the cubes.

  thanks for the response. i’m glad you reminded me about the arrange function (i often forget those very helpful tools) but i do actually want to animate the spline most likely. i will look into mograph and possibly the iterations, jic.
