Motion path + bending along path?
For an example, what if I had a bunch of little pictures of tadpoles, and I wanted them to follow motion paths? But, since they are tadpoles, they should bend to match the bend of the path they are following?
What should I use? I could animate a “bend” effect on each of them, but there are supposed to be a whole swarm of them, I would obviously hope for a simpler method.

How about just animate one in a precomp flipping it’s tail back and forth in a loop and then use it as a video sprite in Particular to create the swarm?–if you have Particular, of course.
Another way would be to just have it “Orient along path” instead of “bending”. Still might give the effect you are going for.

I have a swimming motion in a loop, but I was hoping also to have it bend to the left or right when it’s turning left or right.
