  • Place points along a shape / “connect” two shapes

    Hi there,

    I always find answers browsing this amazing site, but i’m stuck on something.
    These days, I mostly train by trying to remake some animations I randomly find online. I found this one the other day : https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/40/4/1507217144-1465396129937.gif (sorry, don’t know the creator’s name).

    My problem seems simple but I can’t find a solution to “connect” two circles in order to add lines between them.
    My first thought was to create points along these circles, then link those points with a beam effect, but I don’t even know if that’s possible.
    Is there a way to distribute points along a shape ? Couldn’t find an answer yet.

    Of course, if you have any other idea to help me recreate the kind of animation shown in the link, let me know :p

    If you have Element 3D, you could do something like this:
