Anybody have an idea of how I can smoothly animate a torus shape starting from a circle to a full ring? Kind of like the circle drawing a ring as it extrudes? Right now I am animating the circle shape in the spline modeler, extruding it over a 1 second time frame while at the same time applying a bend modifier to the object over the same 1 second time frame. It's close, but I can see it bending a bit as it goes along instead of a smooth arc. Also, with the bend modify I can only do a half ring. Any better ideas to achieve this? Thanks!
