...create diagonal lines that rotate with the object?

Hello

So, I have several objects that I would like to have filled with diagonal lines. I tried making a style that hade ridiculously long 'spot'-effects, which was okay. But, when I rotate the objects that have the line-style applied, the lines stays in the angle I defined when I created the style.

Is there any other way to get the lines than drawing them with the add point tool? Ideas?

Image textures? See Tutorial 4.4

Yes, that would be a way to do it. A bit troublesome since the objects are transforming from small sized to huge when rotating.

Thanks!

Another problem could be treat to animate points instad bones, or treate to mix the two technics... simply it doesn't works

Hello Syd,

I've made up a little blending script that might help.

You can create a set of stripes or lines fairly quickly, then mask them with your main shape, then rotate both the lines layer and the shape/mask layer together.
