Growing curve
 

Hi guys

I'v extruded a couple of ornaments (imported EPSF files) with LWCAD. So far so good.

What I want to do now is make them grow in lay-out. Kind of like a roller-coaster. But not something on the curve (ex. marble), but the curve itself.

I did some experimenting and tried out the fertilizer plug in. It is good, but I like to have more control of the speed in wich the curve grows. Also I want to be able to let the camera follow the growing curve. The fertilizer plugin does not work with Sub-D's.



Another thing I can try is ad an effector to the curve and ad a null.

But I'm wondering, are there better ways to do this, or other plugins that can be helpfull ?
