Hello,

I want to animate a scarf (plane and clothilde) in a certain route along a spline.
When fixing points of the plane i don't see how to align these to a spline and animate them...
is this possible or is there a workaround?

Thanks.

Hi Rizon,

One way you can do this is to use a clothilde "Belt tag" and belt each point to a null, then put an "Align to spline" tag on the nulls and allign the nulls.

Best way to do this is to position the nulls with the align to spline tag first then belt the points to the nulls near the points.

It's pretty easy stuff, i'm sure you'll get it.

Good luck!

AFAIK Null objects won't work as belt objects, you need to use poly objects.

HTH,
