[Mograph] Path deformer with Spline Wrap
This tutorial shows how to the deform object move on the spline path using Spline Wrap.
Step 1. First thing you need is something to deform. Start off with a Plane object (Objects >Primitive > Plane) and set object tab in the attributes manager change its Width to 70cm, Height to 125cm, orientation to +X
Step 2. Create a Spline Wrap from the Mograph module menu (Mograph > Spline Wrap) and drag and drop it on the plane object so that it will become a child of the plane.
Step 3. The deformer need the spline to deform. Create one spline and shape them however you. (Objects > Spline Primitive > Flower)
Step 4. Select the Spline Wrap in the object manager, in the attributes manager,drag the spline (flower) into the spline box, then Set the axis to +Z and mode to Keep Length.
Step 5. Now, select the Spline Wrap in the object manager, in the attributes manager,drag the slider in offset box, and look at the plane object will move to follow the spline object (Flower) path.
Step 6. That's it...and enjoy!
