Hi guys,
How can I animate a curve (the shape of the curve)? Is there a tool to make some control nulls where the points from that curve are?

Many thanks,
Adrian

If it's not a lot of points you can use this setup I attached. You can probably do something really cool with CHOPs as well, but I'm gonna assume the bestest case scenario…

At the object level, with your mouse in the Scene View, hit TAB > Path.
