Curved paths, or, curving an existent path.

Post by Reindeer »

Hi, I learned how to make a layer follow a pre-created path?(like a path with the add-point tool).
But is it possible to curve an existing motion path without editing the Bezière curves in the Motion Graph?
Lets' say the layer (a bird flying) is moving from A to B. If I drag it into another position between these two points, it will make a corner, not a curve. Is there a way of getting ASP to create curves by default instead of sharp corners?

Which AS version are you using? And are you using smooth interpolation?

I'm using ASPro 11.2. You're right, I just tried smooth interpolation and that seems to do exactly what I needed! Now if I drag the character the path will develop into a curve (which then I can fine-tune in the Motion Graph).
Thank you!
