Follow path is a bit too loose!

Support Animation and Rigging

Hi there,

When I animate an object to follow a path, and click the ‘Follow Curve’ option to make the object rotate to suit the bend of the curve, I can see it doing the rotation but never tightly, always quite some way off from where it should be facing.

Any ideas how i can make it a tighter Follow Curve?

Have you cleared the objects’ origin? Maybe a screenshot could help - sometimes an object will follow in relation to the offset you have between the curve’s start and the object’s origin

You may be able to see it but we can’t. Upload your blend file to http://www.pasteall.org/blend/ and tell us the download link. Please also show a screenshot that clearly shows the problem

Yes, I just discovered that it is related to the fact that the starting rotation of the object did not match the rotation of the curve as you suggested! That has near enough solved it, thanks!
