Hi all,

Trying to wade my toes a little further into C4D Lite...

I have an object (a rocketship) following a spline in C4D. It flies in from
behind the camera (point A), does a loop way off in the distance, and then
flies back to the camera (point B). I've added an External Compositing tag
so that I can export that motion back into AE (with the hopes of using that
as a Particular emitter.)

After much head scratching, the best I've been able to export into AE are
keyframes that trace a staight line from straight from point A to point B,
without the loop. The endpoints align fine in space, but nothing in the
middle follows the spline path.

I bet I'm missing one little setting... anyone?

Drew
