mmm, that’s strange. when i render your file the animated sweep nurbs are flat 2D, not bending round with the wrap deformer which IS affecting the paths…. i haven’t changed anything on your file. or have i missed something? here’s a screenshot:

thank you adam, my head’s hurting just looking at this, but i’ll dive in and follow your advice. couple of quick questions:
i’m rendering your file and the animated wrap deformer doesn’t seem to affect the existing 6 x animated sweep nurbs… or is that a step i have to take from your advice?
and any recommendations for smoothing out the lines? change type to bezier?

thank you! that’s an interesting way to do it i hadn’t considered. but it still doesn’t solve the problem of applying a spherize effect to a bunch of sweep nurbs over time. so it starts with a flat 2D map of animated flight patterns, and gradually wraps round an invisible sphere to become globe-like…
anyone figured out how to apply a wrap deformer to a group of sweep nurbs?

ok, i think i get it. so one last question: how would i add a 5 frame fade in to each of the animated T’s? the way they pop in feels a little harsh.

this is great info, thank you. i’m going to work through it to try and understand how this breaks down.

wow, works perfectly! thank you adam. excuse my ignorance but could you explain a little more your process? i’m trying to figure out how the two effectors work…

thanks for your time.
so you see the trace lines when you uncheck ‘trace vertices’? i can see trace lines set up for regular splines no problem, just not for imported .fxb files. aghh this is frustrating! i’m using 11.5 if that explains anything…
-
mmm, i’ve unclicked the ‘trace vertices’ box but still no tracer paths… is there something in my display i need to activate to see the tracer?
-
sure. how do i add an attachment?

many thanks for your time, i figured it out.
