Would have finished my animation today but was stumped with an idiotic mistake I made, finally solved. Lessons learned 3:) :D

In a way it is good as I now have a deeper understanding of PreComps and Null Objects using TrimPath to put Objects in repeating circular motion.

Many transform controls, got caught in the wrong one and did not catch it from the video I watched on how to do it, foolishly. “WTF IS GOIN ON!!! I’M DOING WHAT THE VIDEO SHOWS!!! AHHHH!!!” Hours later, hey what is that, not Scale, Size, FUCK!, the Shape Layer versus Scaling it prior to object attaching to Motion Path. Yeah, yeah makes perfect sense ffs, got it.

You might go sigh but really, it is solved I am super happy with that so there is a path forward and as far as I can tell, everything I want to show with this very first 2021 simple visual example should be doable.

Many things to also do this week, getting late but they are less difficult however I do want to hit this back again, looking at atomic organization, applying Nodes to structures. That sort of thing, try to find ways to relate the 3D to the 4D with things that are familiar to Humans.
