Select a path and apply a module. In this example, we apply FLOW.
Notice that a set of “Drivers” has been added as well.
<aside> 💠 FLOW already knows how to make your path flow, but it doesn’t know when, how much or how fast to do it.
</aside>
That’s why we connect FLOW to a driver.
<aside> ⏱️ Drivers carry out the animation signal, pushing modules to change over time
</aside>
Newly applied modules connect to drivers automatically. As you can see in the image, FLOW is receiving its ⏱️ Animation Signal from Driver 1
Our original shape now flows according to its own shape.
Our original shape before FLOW
Remember:
Our shape after Flow. Points flow across the curvature of the shape. Not that this example is using a slightly tweaked preset of flow.
<aside> 💠 The logic of the flow is controlled by the FLOW module. Tweaking its properties in the effects panel affects the way the final result looks
</aside>
<aside> ⚡ How fast the path flows is controlled by Driver 1 which drives the module. Tweaking its properties in the effects panel will change the duration and longevity of the animation.

🔌 💠 Modules create great designs. Together, they create a great design over time!
