thanks again!

its a bit of a misunderstanding. i made a video that explains what i am after,

i feed the spline into a matrix and used a plain effector to cut it using visibility

and applied a tracer, then i used an align to spline.

its a bit messy and i would love to get to know a different technique.

oh wow thanks!

i didnt mention that i want to animate one of the objects so the intersection must be dynamic.

i tried to look into expresso and “nearest point on spline ” but with no success

hope we find a way

i will put it to test now.

all the best,

Ronny

sure, in this specific case i want to animate the position of a layer.

(2 dimensional value)

A = 0,0

B = 500,200

C = 1000, 1000

(example)

0 to 2 seconds

from A to B

4 to 6 seconds

from B to C
