    Hi!

    I am trying to animate arrows running along a path while having them bend to it’s shape. I have been able to wrap a single arrow using a Spline Wrap. I can also clone multiples using a MoGraph Cloner + Spline Effector. Problem is with the cloner, the arrows stay rigid while they travel along the path. I am trying to combine the two effects to make them not only clone and move along the path, but bend with it. Hopefully that makes sense.

    Thanks!

    I don’t think you can actually do that with the Cloner. What you could do is copy your spline-wrapped object as many times as you need to and then use some expresso to control the the relative offset of the objects.

    This might work. Animate Offset in the SplineWrap

    That did it! Looks like the step effector was the missing link.

    Thank you very much!

    I stand corrected. 🙂
