help with a butterfly
hello,
I’ve got a composition of a butterfly. Inside the comp i’v emanipulate the wings to move like a butterfly. I then took the comp into a nother composition with the rest of the environment… i’ve parented the butterfly to a null and started moving it about… the Zrotation and postion have wiggle expressions which make it move very nicely. the problem is that as i move the null around, the butterfly sometimes looks like its flying in reverse mode (not moving in the direction of the head)
is there some way that i can use anchor point or anything like that, so when i move the butterfly it only moves head first? or do i need to simply key it to fit perfectly with the wiggles?
thanks.
thanx for the help.

just thought- maybe is there some kind of expression which will sort of put the ‘weight’ on the anchor point, that way every time it rotates (with wiggle expression) the movement follows to wherever the weight is pointing?
thanx for the help.

Hi David,
My apologies if this doesn’t answer your question but I am starving and running out the door to go get something to eat — Kathlyn and our daughter went to an opera in Los Angeles, so I’ve been home alone feeding cats. ;o)
There is an article/tutorial on butterflies in AE at

Best regards,
