6.1.2 Move Objects along a Path Like a Snake

In the previous example, all 3D characters were created inside one level object called "Logo" so there was only one target object for "Mover". If we created all characters at the same level with "Mover", the result would be quite different. Lets try this:

1. Delete the current project with Project/Project/New and create four 3D characters under the root object.

2. Create PATH method object at the same hierarchy level with the characters.

3. Create a B-Spline curve under the method object so the curve passes through all the characters.
