  • putting arrows on a 3dstroke

    Good Evening Everyone,

    I am doing a simple route map, showing the route a traveller is taking across the world.. I have a flat map and I am using 3dstroke to animate the path from A to B.. easy…

    However the client has now piped up, and decided they want an arrow on the front of the line, that animates with it.

    Can anyone think of a clever way. I’m thinking the best way is to use the path as keyframes, and put a triangle on the line and try and match the timings..

    Can anyone think of a clever way to get round this ??

    I’m going to pop this questions in the expressions forum as well.. so apologies, if you are reading this twice.. but I am thinking there might be a way to use the key frames of the 3d stroke to move the triangle along the path.

    thanks for any help

    kind regards

    Alex
