what is the best method today to make letters follow a defined path , say around a globe of the world? the newest version of 1942 world war ii has a nice opening secence of this. the scene is … the letters are coming from behind the camera and rapping around the world, three times. my problem is getting the letters to follow exactly the same time/line of the first letter, but delayed enough to see the letters follow the lead letter and be really smooth through out the animation. sherwood animations p.s. its been 5 years since i have done this type of animation and i'm after using a smoother looking animation, using say tempo, or other ipas, or just another technical way i have not thought of. of doing the same thing ? thanks
