Animate spline objects

[Trevor Navarre]

Hey Guys. I need to animate this geometric shape opening and I’m not sure how to approach this. I basically need to have each spline vertex rotate until the object is flat. Any advice would be appreciated!
Here’s a video of what I need it to do:

If you enable Point level animation:
You can add keyframes to the shape of your spline.

If you need easing (PLA can’t do easing) you can link each node on the splines to a different null using xpresso and then animate the nulls instead of the nodes, and then you can use fcurves for easing.
