How to animate stroking, painting?

[cameronwalser]

Hi all,

How can I animate a stroke in time in Combustion2, as somebody is just drawing it?

In ae5.5 its very easy, just using the render/stroke effekt on any bezier curve or rectangle or whatever on mask, and I can set the start and end value in percent. (Or by VectorPaint setting to animate stroke, and set the playback speed)

I'm looking for the same feature in combustion, in other packages (digital fusion, shake its working nice), maybe discreet forgot to implement this essential feature? or I just can't find it...

pls help

thanx

there might be some sort of plug-in for this in C* but other than animateing a mask over your painted strokes I dunno how else you would go about this....

i havent really been able to figure it out but something tells me the "reveal" paint option might be able to do what ya want

Unfortunately not working with reveal option, its not an anim option, brobably we need a plugin, or to wait the next version if they implement this little one option...
