Hi !!

I need to deform a parametrical spline (half circle / bow) into the shape of
another paramterical spline (helix with all points in one plane)

Is there any little helper to achieve that ?

Thanks + regards [T]

MoGraph to the rescue yet again. :) Hope you have it, because it's the only way I can think of to do this without a lot of Xpresso--if that's even possible.

What I did was morph a bunch of cubes onto an arc primitive, then animate a spline effector to move the clones to the helix. Finally, add a tracer object referencing the cloner, and set the tracer to "connect all objects". File attached.

Thanks. That's cool. There can't be to many MoGraph examples.
