Scale Pitch Orientation group
These settings let you scale the pitch at which the
animation is played, depending upon the pitch of
the delegate. By default, when Scale Pitch is off, the
animated object will pitch normally. If you turn
it on, you can then set a Base Pitch at which the
animation should play, plus a percentage to specify
howmuchtheBasePitchismodifiedbytheactual
delegate pitch. If the Percentage is 100, then only
theBasePitchwillbeused;anythingelsewillscale
between the base pitch and the delegate pitch. This
is useful for when birds and other objects elevate,
but don’t pitch up.
