Here is a quick upload of all the numbers (0-9) built with only 3 points. Sorry about not animating them... didn't have time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yddpzyQoy_0&feature=youtu.be

Actually you just need 2 for creating an 8 if it's a closed spline. 3 If open.

Blank canvases can do that sometimes ;)

Have you had a look at the Source Movie Maker from Valve? http://www.sourcefilmmaker.com/

It's by for the most interesting development for animation that I've seen for years. In about an hour I was able to produce 15 sec of reasonable good animation the first time I used it.

Their process is more akin to Photoshop than anything else as it's a destructive process rather than procedural.

I found it quite enlightening.
