During Siggraph I had a guy walk up to me after I got down from the Main Stage at the Newtek Booth and he wanted to know how he could set up a sort of train animation or roller coaster type of animation in LightWave Being the non technical animation and purely still image print geek that I am I told him that I wasn t sure how to do it You see I m not an animator I m a lover Anyway I pointed him to someone who I thought might be able to help but the problem he posed to me nagged at me so I spent a little time testing out a few things and guess what if that guy were to walk up to me today I could give him the basic knowledge he would need to set up his animation It might not be the only way to do it but it worked for me so I thought I d share what I discovered on my own

Animation Basics: Making Objects Follow a Path

During Siggraph, I had a guy walk up to me after I got down from the Main Stage at the Newtek Booth and he wanted to know how he could set up a sort of train animation, or "roller coaster" type of animation in LightWaveŽ. Being the non technical animation and purely still image print geek that I am, I told him that I wasn't sure how to do it. You see, I'm not an animator. I'm a lover. Anyway, I pointed him to someone who I thought might be able to help, but the problem he posed to me nagged at me, so I spent a little time testing out a few things, and guess what...if that guy were to walk up to me today I could give him the basic knowledge he would need to set up his animation. It might not be the only way to do it, but it worked for me so I thought I'd share what I discovered on my own.
