connecting lines in AE?
Hey everyone,
I am trying to make a social networking connections tree in AE. So I came by this image in google.
My idea is pretty similar but the only difference is that i have random wiggling icons. I therefore want the endpoints of the connecting lines to always be attached to the icons wherever they go. How is this possible? -

Check out this script- watch the tutorial. I think this can help you achieve what you are after.

The Beam effect should work well here – lots have been discussed here at the COW. Do the age-old Search trick and you should get lots of options.

I just want to add one more vote for the Beam effect. Also, be sure to check out Harry Frank’s amazing tutorial about using Beam with expressions here:

Another method that might work for you is using an expression to set the end points of the Stroke Effect.

That’s a gem of a find there Brian – another one of Filip’s awesome mind benders. It’s also got me thinking of using Write-on should one want a more organic-looking line.
