Sorry for the delay, but thanks very much!

[Darryl Torke]

Thanks so much guys. Crazy AE doesn’t have this feature innately, but what can you do.

[Darryl Torke]

Thanks for your help. Would you know if it’s realistic to try to make the lines ‘bounce’, as in, they start from ground level at the origin point then go up in the air, then go back down at the destination point? Or do you think this is not possible in AE.

thanks again for your help.

[Darryl Torke]

I’m sorry I didn’t clarify.

It can be very illustrative/design-y, however the difficulty that I can’t seem to find (and trust me I did do a search before i posted) is making the lines ‘bounce’. The few solutions I’ve found require a 3D program and I was simply hoping there was a after effects solution for the ‘bounce’ lines (not just a 2d line rolling along the sphere).

I understand if this is beyond the realm of after effects. Thanks for your time anyhow.

[Darryl Torke]

Okay, thanks!

[Darryl Torke]

Ah, thanks. Aside from doing it in AE, do you know what program is usually used for such effect?

[Darryl Torke]

thanks for the help. what does the ‘?’ in the expression do, exactly?

thanks again for your assistance.

[Darryl Torke]

Wow! Thanks very much Dan. It works great.

[Darryl Torke]

Ah, thanks this works! You were right it was not intentional to exclude frame 10, thanks for mentioning that or I would of been stupefied.

[Darryl Torke]

Yes, sorry, the example is just a loose understanding. I use constantly changing variables, and each time I apply the layer the origin point and end point change (however the end point is always diagonal from the origin point). The full code is below:

L = thisComp.layer("Origin");
G1 = L.toWorld(L.anchorPoint,inPoint);
G2 = L.toWorld(L.anchorPoint,inPoint) + [2000, 500];
easeIn(time,inPoint,outPoint,G1,G2);
