Heya.

I've got an animated spline, along which I want to have a row of objects. Snapshot works for a single frame, but I can't seem to find a way to do it for every frame of an animation.
When I make a snapshot, I only get one line of objects, which stays still.

Sorry if this has been asked before, or if it's just a stupid question :blush:

Thanks in advance for any answers!

You could do 1 of 2 things... (maybe more)

1-- you could give each object a Path Constraint controller (on its position) then pick the spline and change each one's percent along the path.

or

2-- you could give each object a Path Deform modifier (worldspace) and do a similar thing (except in this case, they will probably deform a little bit depending on how curvy the spline is)

hope this helps,
