I would render the pencil alone and then I would animate a mask over the 2D lines in a composing program.
You could otherwise use align to spline to animate the pencil. Then use that same spline with in a sweep nurbs that has the growth at the same rate as your pencil.
Another option is to use a Mograph tracer object on the tip of the pencil.
I guess there are a few more options for this too.

Do you have a key frame somewhere that keep getting reset too?
For animating scale you should be using the “object tool” or the keys dont work./Randy

Very well done. Must have been extremely time consuming with out Mograph.

haha yea that happens.

Its green x looking icon.I think it was in plug ins till version 8.

Both of those things are in the objects menu I believe.

Take a light and place it in a Cloner object. Then use the cloner object to arrange them however you want them. Then get a sound effector from the mograph menu and in the attributes there is a lnk there to browse for a sound file. To hear the music you need to enable sound. THere is a small icon to do this beside the timeline. Cinema is picky when it comes to sound files so check in the help file to get the specs.
Another way to get a strobe effect is to get your light and in xpresso plug a noise node into the Intesity input of the light.

The transfer tool does that.

Not sure you can do that.
I would make the loft nurbs object and use the Mograph Spline wrap deformer. Or you can make the spline you want to sweep along and align the loft spline to that.

Yep you can export quicktime movies or avi… right below where you set your path it says “format” just choose the one you want from the drop down menu.
But for animation I strongly suggest working with image sequences like this. First if the render fails you still have all the frames until that one where as with video file if the render fails you loose everything. There is also better work flow with all video applications when using a tif sequence. You can open the 200 tifs with quicktime with “open image sequence” same when working in an editing program import image sequence.
