Re: track points of a line separately
by Matt Gerard on May 30, 2008 at 7:23:41 pm


Jim-

Ok, I can't get it to work. Maybe it doesn't work with text, but I've tried a couple of variations, but I can't get it to work. Here's the scene-

Still image of a product (think lawnmower) doesn't move.
Small text block, animated, goes from scale=100 to scale =80 and moves to the right about 50 pixels over about 15 seconds.

Line drawn from text block to "wheel" on mower. Need one end of the line to track with the text as it moves, but stay "stuck" on the wheel at the other end. Can I send you the project directly to have a look at it and see what I'm goofing up?

I see it working in the project that you so kindly posted, but I can't get it to work in my own. Not sure why. I read the supplement in the motion help on motion tracking but it doesn't do a reall bang up job explaining the process, or where it pulls the tracking data from.

Thanks!

Matt

Its more fun to ride a slow motorcycle fast than a fast motorcycle slow...
