  • Dashed line from trace disappear R16

    I have a paper airplane flying on a spline. Im using tracer to make a dashed line. I use a Cloner using the tracer as the object to creat dashes from a small cylinder. I need to have the dashes start disappearing in the animation from the start to the finish of the slpine. Is there an effecter I should use to make then go away? Or another method. Thanks

    Not sure what you are after, you want a limit on the length of the trace so the dashes are only a certain length behind the plane and not all the way back to the beginning?

    the Tracer has a Limit setting – you can limit the spline produced from the either end in your case you probably want From End (the Amount is in frames so that would be the length) and you might want to reverse the sequence.
