Blending on a path
DrawPlus allows you to make your blended objects conform to a path, i.e. a
drawn curve.
To fit a blend to a line or curve:
1. Select the path (curve) and the previously blended object.
2. From the Tools menu, select Fit Blend to Curve.
You'll be able to reshape the curve by manipulating its segments, on-curve
nodes, and off-curve control handles. Individual nodes can also be assigned a
different colour or transparency to change the blend appearance. (See Editing
lines and shapes on p. 68).
Blends in Stopframe animation
For Stopframe animation of simple objects, you can make use of blending
between objects to create frames automatically. You can perform this operation
in Drawing mode (then Convert to Stopframe Animation) or from scratch in
Stopframe Animation mode. See Stopframe animation tips and tricks in
DrawPlus Help for more information.
