Hello,

I have a drawing (shown below), each line in it is a bezier path. I'm wanting to import the curves to houdini and I want to animate the growth (drawing) of the curves overtime. So I would start with empty canvas and at the end the whole image is drawn. Ideally, I would like to have a patten for the drawing growth, i.e. it starts drawing from center of canvas and grows outwards, but any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi LLFA,

the Carve SOP can shorten curves. Also Martin has found a function that cuts curves individually. See mavi´s post

I attached an example on your case.

Hi

Also if you want to start to drawings from some different points based on some radius , search about using points cloud and growing method .
