Burrman and Frenchy,

I am very happy you both replied because you have the knowledge and skills to help me answer a question about scripting.

Would it be possible to move an object along a path using scripting in MOI3D.

I'm not looking for full animation. Just simple movement along a path. This video was created by manually moving an object with a blue background and capturing it in Camtasia. Then ChromaKey was used to overlay the motion over an image.

Many years ago there was a 3D design application for children called Cosmic Blobs and it had a feature called Vanish Varnish that allowed for very simple animation.

When it went away, so did Vanish Varnish. The creator of that application went on to create Onshape.

Here is a tutorial I did many years ago explaining how Vanish Varnish worked.

The reason why I would love to be able to do something like this is that 3D printing is the bottleneck that holds back wider 3D acceptance in schools. But, kids love moving things around on the screen and that movement does NOT have to be elaborate or even key frame to be useful for them.
