About the video: Align and wrap spline
Overview
“In this lesson we will learn to deform an object through a baseline and animate it. This modifier will also allow us to rotate our object, depending on where it is on the line, and scale it separately.”
In this video lesson Francisco Cabezas addresses the topic: Align and wrap spline, which is part of the Domestika online course: Course 5: Basic Animation Tools and Concepts. Learn to use basic animation tools and tags.
