Hi I have a really big Problem.

First of all i have Complex curved Spline With a growing Face on it.
I used the script called: subcurveextr.mel

The Problem with this script is that the animated extrusion along the curve have different speed depending where
the face actually is on a stright or curved part of the curve. I think it is something like the funktion
“ parametric Length “ like in the attach to motion path tool.

But what i need is a motion wich have always the same speed along the curve.

So what i tried to do is to duplicate the curve and attach a Locator with the attach to motion path tool
as a dummy driver.

So now i have a Locator wich have the same speed along the curve.
I tried to connect the movement of the Face wich was made with the script: subcurveextr.mel with the connection editor or Constraints or
setdriven keys and much more. But i get always the same result that the growing Face have different speed.

Please maybe someone have a tip or idea or maybe a good script to make this work.

thanks in advance.

Check out the ‘Rebuild Curve’ tool…
