I was looking around the NewTek site (ive been drooling over lightwave) and i found this animation which inspired me to try and make somthing like it in Carrara. At first i was thinking i would have it spell out my name in neat cursive. But when i got into carrara and started messin around, i ran into a few of carrara's weak points. The problem was, when your animating a spline object, you cant animate the creation of points on a sweep path. The best I could do was make a rigid figure and makes a few 90 angles throughout the animation. I also realized that making it actually spell out somthing would take weeks and making the line curve would be quite impossible. Ok, now that you know the story, heres my attempt. Im pleased with it :). Izuel
