  • Align to spline V8.5

    Posted by Greg Paterson on September 8, 2005 at 2:01 pm

    I now have access to V8.5.
    In V7.3 I could do a lot but in 8.5 I am quite lost.
    Can some one kick start me in V8.5 with a “how to” align to spline…. eg a sphere along a circular path would be great.

    Thanks

    Create a Circle-Spline or any other Spline –
    Put a Align To Spline Expression on your object –
    Drag your Spline to the Tag Properties Window –
    Animate the position.

    Cheers

    Nolan,

    Still need a bit more help.
    Following your words I can get a sphere onto a circle spline and get it to move if i change the position percentage.
    I tried adding key frames with the sphere in different positions but they are not recorded and of course no motion when i press play.
    This was simple as pie in V7…….
    What am i doing wrong …what am i missing??

    I was animating the wrong parameter.
    One glass of red wine and I am back on track.
