Images following a path?
Dec 14th, 2007, 3:12pm  
I'm not entirely sure where to ask this so I entered it here, please do move the topic if it's the wrong place.

I want an image to be shown several times along a predefined path. The path itself is fairly dynamic and can be changed so the images and their placements need to read the information the line uses (granted I won't actually read the line but rather use the bezier curve as a template and use it's input values to place the images).

Note that I do not want an animated sequence where the image actually follows the path, I want to place static images along the path.

Hope this small diagram makes any sense to you.
START x--------> END
START x-OOOOOO-> END

Any ideas are welcome.

That should help you do what you want.
