Animating Flight Paths – anyone done this before?

yes it was an issue in r12. i just opened it on a friend’s r14 and the sweep nurbs are affected by the wrap deformer, thank you again. i went through all your steps and it makes total sense.

the only issue now is a lag/white space between the spheres and the lines during the deformer wrap. (see attached file at frame 73 for a good example). it’s fine once the deformer is at 100% but as i’m timing this wrap from 0-100% over 6 secs approx it does look like a mistake. sorry to keep bugging you with this, but do you have any ideas? i changed all the splines and the tracers to uniform/bezier but no difference…
