This idea was in the back of my mind for some time now… it basically was inspired from using Rubber Hose in After Effects. The idea… use overlapping lines with different dash offset and line settings and line widths to create arms and legs…
This example and code really is just a proof of concept. It should be then made generic from this point on forward. Maybe even offer a IDE preview… although the missing plugin system makes the possible preview lot’s of work without knowing if it will be future proof (only the IDE preview part).
