  • dealing with angles when following a path

    Posted by Thea Birgit on November 21, 2006 at 2:17 pm

    hi together
    another problem
    cloudlets from particular are now following my illu path
    a null object is also following and a solid with lens flare is following the null
    so that the lens flare is in fact following my illu path
    my question:
    the lensflare is a little bit rectangular
    how could I manage it that lens falr makes a curve when the pass makes a curve.
    perhaps expressions ?
    this one I used to let run the null was pretty simple but dealing with angles ?
    thanks

    Enable “auto orient” for the layer. Works as a align to path in 2D. Will look strange though, depending on the style of your flare – lensflares do not rotate.

    thanks Mylenium,
    I used LF glow – I would prefer something like a drop with a glow
    but where could I find “auto orient” for the layer – I failed
    thanks again
    greetings from munich
