Lydell – >> I am referring to the 1960's (dating myself) toy race tracks with flexible plastic track that could be made into loops, so if your "hot wheels" model car was going fast enough it would do a vertical "loop d'loop"…<< "vertical loop d'loop" ?? Why didn't ya just say so in the first place ?!?<BG> I may lead a sheltered life (don't ALL animators) but, hey !, I'm only 28 – and I still play with 'em <BG>. Actually, I was confused by the use of the word "vertical". I thought maybe you meant how the edges of the track are turned up ? Oh well, I follow you now ! >> I wanted to use the same path for the car motion as well as track lofting, and I may get some jerky spots when I splice the animations. << You're probably right….How 'bout a "hard cut" camera change ?? That way nobody will know the path has "changed" <G> Well, that's the easy way out of the dilemma…it doesn't really solve your lofting/motion "path" problem though. If I get a little extra free-time I'm going to mess with this one a bit…. now you've got me curious. >> (need a 30 hour day)… 🙂 << Be careful what you wish for….you just might get it !! 🙂 >> more things to adjust on this IPAS than controls in a 747 cockpit….<< I feel the same way about Pennello… CU Gary 🙂
