Dan Ebberts Bezier Curve
Is it possible to take Dan Ebberts Bezier Curve and have the path be a perfect circle? and also orient the shape layer to the circle?
right now i have it on a slider with 4 nulls.
N1 = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”);
N2 = thisComp.layer(“Null 2”);
N3 = thisComp.layer(“Null 3”);
N4 = thisComp.layer(“Null 4”);p0 = N1.position;
p1 = N2.toWorld(N2.anchorPoint);
p2 = N3.toWorld(N3.anchorPoint);
p3 = N4.position;c = 3*(p1 – p0);
b = 3*(p2 – p1) – c;
a = p3 – p0 – c – b;t0 = index/(thisComp.numLayers – 3);
s = N1.effect(“Slider Control”).param(“Slider”);
if(s < 0){
s += 1;
t = t0*s;
}else{
t = s + t0 – s*t0;
}
((a*t +b )*t + c)*t + p0any help would be great!

Hi,
If I understand what you are looking for is a way to get a shape layer follow a perfect circular path and auto orient ?
I have uploaded a project that may help.
