Path animation

Hi,
I would like to animate the path of an object with path animation. Is that possible?
I do not think so. Is there another solution?

Regards
3DN

    It is possible!

    Select your object or figure from the the Instances Pane on the right side of your screen, then select it's motion tab and where it says keyframe, there's a pulldown menu where you can select motion path.

    Maybe you need to explain your question a bit better, because I'm not getting it.

    With a motion path, you define the path the object follows.

    Sorry for my bad english :-(

    In my case I need to animate the motion path (and also the object).

    I got it now.


    I checked just now, and couldn't find a way to key frame the path.


    Why does the path need to move? The point of the path is to define the movement of an object along it. You can pretty much draw the path any way you like, with as many points as you like. By adjusting the, Distance Along Path slider at various points along the timeline, you can effectively speed up and slow down the object as it travels the path.

    you could convert your motion path to keyframe maybe and group the object.
    creating an animation group for that object and changing that animation to an NLA clip with transforms might also work (I am not on my pc)
