Well, clearly it’s not aligned to the world cords. Best thing to do is use the grid as a reference and rotate the ship straight in one viewport at a time. For example, first get it straight in the front viewport, then straighten it out in the side viewport. Then go back to the front and make finer adjustments, back to the side, etc. Once you’re sure that that the geometry is straight, then zero out the axis rotation in the coordinates manager.

It’s the third icon from the top in the left-hand palette. Note: only works with editable objects — not primitives.

If you’re rotating on once axis only and it’s wobbling, it means that the axis isn’t completely centered to your object. You can center it in terms of translation with the axis center tool, but rotation is a little trickier. I suggest you align the object to the grid using top/side/front views and then see if the axis rotation seems to be off. You should be able to tell by looking at your object’s coordinates tab, i.e., if the object is completely straight in all views, but the coords are showing rotation, then your axis is rotated relative to the model. You can fix that by enabling axis mode and zeroing out rotation.

Okay, try setting the Arrow_Path spline’s intermediate points to Natural and the number to 2. Works here. Another option is to just add an extra point or two in that last segment.

Can you post a file with just the sweep nurbs? Hard to say from looking at the screenshot.

Unless the object and camera are static, I don’t see how baking the texture could work for the object outline.

Use the offset animation feature in a step or shader effector.

You win. 😉

This is an ultra-simple setup, but if I understand what you’re saying correctly it does what you want it to do: 6540_inversescaling.c4d.zip

What you have looks pretty good, IMO. If you want to make it more physically correct you’d need to use the regular dynamics system. Problem is that it’s a little difficulty to keep it from being too twitchy. Here’s a quick example: 6530_ballchain.c4d.zip
