3dmax Arrow follow a path

[kilmyneo]

hi, im new with 3dmax , my question is how can i do to achieve this.

i have an arrow made it with spline and extrude and a Spline with an S Shape...
well.. how can i attach this arrow to the S shape and extrude it, so that way i have an arrow with S shape and i can move it all along the path.


thanks:thumbsup:

your questioning is rather confusing,

are you having problems modelling it or, or are you trying to animate it?

if its modelling, then to attach to objects, you can convert each object to a poly, then in the poly edit mode go to attach mode and select the other part of your model, then you can weld the vertices.

If your talking about animation, its simple, you need to click on the motion tab, and use a "path follow" constraint, select the spline as the path.

ok I don't normally do this but here you go, sorry if the steps are too newbie like, the reason I like to show all the details is because, sometimes if I say do X you might not now how to do X or Y, so its better to include something in case you don't know how to do it:
