Animating an Arrow along a Path

[Sketchrender]

Hi

 

I want to animate an arrow following a path in an animation.

I want the arrown to have a long tale so it all follows the spline.

I have arrow following but it is not bending with the spline it is following.

I would like to do this max not after effects.

Thank you

Before using the path deform, you may have to apply a quadify mesh to give the arrow some faces to bend, and secondly you may need to change the path deform axis depending on the orientation you need, so the tail follows the spline and is not perpendicular to it.

Thank you very much, that rings a bell.

Haven't done it in years.
