Hello World,

I am trying to make my animated bird obj(bgeo format) flying around the sky(3D space).
Can any one help me with the best way to achieve it,
My bird is flapping and moving (basically Up & Down based on the WAVE sin cycle). Thanks in advance.

Draw a curve of the movement and then on the geometry node for your bird you make it follow the curve/path. Animate the position on the curve with $F or other time dependent variable of choice.
Drive, monkey, drive!

Thank you very much.
I did try it without success.
But, I will try it again.

I wonder if there are any other way to do the same thing.

I've made my obj to follow on the path.
But, it is following too slow. How can i make my bird obj follow faster on the path. Please help me.

Cheers,

Using $F is probably a bad choice as the curve goes from 0 to 1. Just key the Position parameter and tweak the animation curve so that it goes from 0 to 1 within the time range.
