CAN AN IMPORTED PATH (SHAPE OR LOFTER) USED IN AN ANIMATION HAVE LESS VERTICES/KEYS THAN AN OVERALL ANIMATION SEQUENCE. EXAMPLE – A BALL MOVES ALONG A CIRCULAR PATH FIVE TIMES (20 VERTICES/KEYS) IN A HUNDRED FRAME ANIMATION. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. DON 71053,1664

Don, The number of vertex points or number of key points along a path are not connected with the number of frames in the animation. For example, a circle imported from the shaper will have 4 vertex points. It can be applied to an object to follow it for any number of frames you have set. -Brian P.S. Turn off your caps lock, YOU'RE SHOUTING!
