Hi there, I sent this the other day and I'm not sure if it got through, apologies if it's a duplicate...
Hi list
I'm trying to understand how tables/arrays work with animations. As far as I can see, I can place a set of coordinates in a text file and then use an array to animate elements in gem space. I have been looking at various examples, notably [splinepath], which uses [line] to govern the length and speed of the movement. However, I'm struggling to understand the exact relationship between the co-ordinates written in the text file and what actually happens to an image when rendered. Sometimes I change the numbers and the animation stays the same, other times it appears erratic.
I've found documentation on how to transform objects in gem, but there seems to be little help in terms of creating more complex animations. If anyone can provide a simple explanation/some pointers or show me where to look, I would very much appreciate it.
