  • Another shape vertex question

    Posted by Paul Roper on December 20, 2011 at 12:35 am

    OK – I’ve found quite a few scripts to connect the position of a point to a vertex of a mask, which is great. But is there a way to use an expression to lock a shape vertex to a point? Logic would suggest that if a script can be run to do this, it would be possible to use an expression. What I’d love to do would be something along the lines of my fictional expression here:

    On the shape layer:

    shape.vertex(5)=thisComp.layer(“locator”).transform.position
    shape.inTangent=thisComp.layer(“something else”).transform.position
    shape.outTangent=thisComp.layer(“another thing”).transform.position

    …in an ideal world.

    Any thoughts or suggestions, anyone?

    Thanks!

    Paul

    No, sorry. It’s been requested many times, but it wouldn’t hurt to add your voice:
