Hi
Have been thinking about this,as Im also looking at ways of doing scaling type animations.I work in FSDS but surly G-Was has some sort of function as InRange in fsds?
Im looking at this from an animation point of view (cartoons)
we all at some time have drawn those little doodles on a pad and flick through them making the stick man jump up and down.If you were to make a number of copys of the object and scale up each one then all you need to do is make each one visable at each keyframe (ok a 100 parts gunna hurt so how about every 3 or 4 frames)
I havnt tried this but it should work Cheesy

Cheers
Warwick

Hi Warwick,
I think I'll try animating it in segments. It'll look better in the end, it will just be very hard work and I am desperately lazy.

I'm beginning to hate this project and so far I have abandoned it (temporarily) four times and built something else just to cheer myself up.

Nobody will want to fly it anyway as it's so slow it not only make my airships look fast, it gets birdstrikes from the rear. :-D
