I am trying to move an object in a "snail-like" movement. Therefore I create a simple deformation latice, set a keyframe for each end of the latice, skip to frame 12, move the front end of the lattice some inches, set a keyframe at frame 12 for the back end of the lattice (to keep it in place), skip to frame 20 and move the back end of the lattice towards the front end. Pretty confusing, eh? Now, this is what happens: When playing the animation, the back end of the object (shortly) starts to move in the opposite direction, before it "follows" the front end. I tried to vary tension, bias and some other paramters, with no (visible) effect. I uploaded "SNAILM.COB" (9kB), just in case… Bye, Marc e-merge
