Flipping a card - Best way of animating?

Post by death_au »

I need to animate taking a card off a deck. The effect I want is for a card to flip up off a "deck". Basically, I want the card to follow the arrow in the picture below:

I was thinking probably a fly circle animator and a rotation animator, but it seems like an awful lot of fiddling to get it to work properly.
I then thought a follow spline animator (and the rotation one), which seems to work a lot better, but how do I get it to stop?
I want the card to follow the spline I created, flip 180 degrees in the same time period, pause for a short time, then fly down to fill one of the "blank" spots down the bottom... What do you guys think would be the best way of achieving this?
