Hi folks,

I need to create a path very similar to the Apple iLife box image,

http://www.apple.com/ilife/

that twists/bends in the same way. However, with a bezier spline and a SweepNURB, I can't get the same kind of rotations seen in the attached example - is there an eaier/better way of achieving this with these or other tools in Cinema?

Cheers
Adam

MoGraph Spline Wrap will give a lot more control parameters, including animation of twist, banking, from > to. The list goes on with all the combinations.:)

Cheers, Alan.

Another option is the Sweep NURBS Rotation spline control in the AM. Works fine here.

I think the Rotation spline controller of the Sweep NURBS should be able to do this.

cheers,
Bob

edit: David was faster :)

Aha! - thanks folks - I hadn't noticed that rotation control down there!! :]

I'll also check out the Spline Wrap in MoGraph as well!

Thanks! :)
