Trace is backwords
by Heather Hass on May 28, 2009

Hello!

I'm just doing this tutorial and im at the end, but unfortunately, write-on trace writes backwords...:(

Wondering if you had any suggestions...i triple checked the codes and i know i have them correct...

the path of the moon sprouts out of the moon then the moon follows the path instead of creating a path...hope that makes sense!

any help would be greatly appreciated! ill give you a 5th cow when i can get this guy working!

One of the best tutorials in some time! Not for it's visual impact but for clearly explaining the layer and world space principles and showing some usefull expression code.
