Can anyone help me to understand how scaling works on a curve? I don't know how to explain it, so I'll just have to show some pics.
Basic cube and curve added to the workspace. I've moved the curve so its left end is at the origin. I've added a curve modifier on the cube pointing to the curve, and I've parented the cube to the curve:
But, of course, that curve is tiny. So, we need to do something about that. I've got two options, and they do radically different things for me. And I have no idea why.
Option One (used in this video) is to select the curve, go into edit mode, scale it up, and then slide it on the X so that its end is at the origin (which, speaking of, is there a way to get it EXACTLY on the origin rather than eyeballing it?). Doing that gives us this:
