Hello, I have a geometry with spreaded points and the saved initial position. I basically want to animate them to the initial position. [[Album] imgur.com ![](https://i.imgur.com/0ynUdz9.png?fb "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/a/1kLka3u) What it is the best approach? Thanks in advance ---

Awesome, I will try. And if I am speaking about vertex points? This is still the best apporach? Also, if I am not wrong this won’t work on drawing a path between point containing x,y,z? ---

I don’t know if that’s the best approach at all. It always depends on what exactly you want to achieve.

In this code ball moving back and forward on click and i need to make it pause it on click and continue on unpause. This is the [code](https://jsfiddle.net/Sallivan/fu5m8by7/1/) . Any help? What do you mean by vertex points exactly? What should move and how? ---

Thanks for all the efforts. I think TWEEN will do the job for me. It is quite performant. Thanks! ---
