  • align object with helix spline

    Posted by Gon Perdigao on February 5, 2009 at 2:50 am

    Good Night, i want to create and offset of a object that is cloned and that’s align with a helix spline.
    I did all the animation with the offset, but when i say that the object of the cloner is the spline, all the objects get different rotations, i try to solve the problem rotating in the cloner, but no luck, i try with the intermidiate points, but no luck also.
    Here is the project https://www.sendspace.com/file/jnwu52, can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    Try using a target effector. Set the target very high above the scene, uncheck “use pitch”, and rotate the cloned object’s axis (not the object itself) to get the right heading rotation.

    I took a quick look and Adam’s right but you’ll have to take the Rotation track off the Cube – or you won’t be able to rotate it – the Position and Scale tracks can go too and keep only the PLA track
