The Follow Path Constraint allows you to attach an object to a path and move it along that path using a distance percentage. It is highly effective for creating complex motions like orbiting, roller coasters, or guiding UI elements along custom vector shapes.
- Origin Focus: The object attaches to the path via its origin point. Proper origin placement is key for realistic "roller coaster" or vehicle effects.
- Hierarchy Order: When targeting a shape with multiple paths, the path order in the hierarchy determines the sequence the object follows.
- Animatable Properties: Strength, Orientation, and Distance are all keyable, allowing for sophisticated motion path animations.
