Hi guys
How can I do the extrusion animation of a object through a path ?
The path is irregurar.
I need to do something like one pipe being filled with water.
Then I think in one circle extruding frame by frame through one path.
Sorry by mistakes with my bad english.
As far as I know there are three reasonable options.
Look into Taper and curves. Animate the Taper curve object using hooks. http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Tutorials/Curves/Curve_Taper
Use curve and array modifiers. Again you need hook in your curve. Note that curve modifier works after array modifier only in CVS and 2.43RC1 versions.
Use shapes.
Make your pipe, then parent it to a path and select “curve deform”. Then you can animate your pipe location to achieve the movement of water in your pipe. I asked a similar thing some time ago: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55162&highlight=ribbon

Thanks a lot BeBraw and bupla !!!
“Curve deform” is exactly what I need.
Its easier than I was thinking!!!
