Get center point of packed geo.

Add single point for trail.
Trail
Set trail length to $FEND (end of frame range).

Null
We get a spline from all the separate points, each representing position data.
ROP_FBX
Export as FBX. Can now bring into C4D or other software, with the spline used as a track. For example, add a camera with align to spline tag, then animate camera position by location on spline.
