Chapter Seventeen - More Compositing

some more bits that I have learnt...

This just quick one on how to use sweep numbs, it dead simple.

• Set everything you how I shown you in the other blog posts
• Now use the pen tool (on older version it will be the spline tool) draw out you line in top view and move it until your happy with it
• now add circle and sweep numb
• now make sweep numb the parent of spline and circle (make the circle the middle in the line, so it sweep, circle and spline)
