Make2d Animate

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a grasshopper problem or a general rhino problem. I am trying to animate the movement of an object and export each frame of the animation as a vector drawing. I was thinking the "animate slider" function would work but then I would need to bake each interval and use "make2d" and export. The other complicating factor is that the camera will be following the object. Can this be accomplished through grasshopper? If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

David Koch

Erick Katzenstein of LMNts has shown a method for doing this.

Thanks Andrew, I wasn't able to figure out how they actually did it. Is this something I would have to learn python for?

Yeah, you'd need some kind of script, Python or otherwise. Attached is a bare bones example in C# exporting dwgs of a make2d for a single object. For the camera control you should look into Horster Camera Control.
