Drag Space Warp 63
Inter face Timing group
Time On/Time Off—The f rame numbers at which
the space warp becomes active and becomes
inactive.
Damping Characteristics group
This group lets you choose Linear Damping,
Spherical Damping, or Cylindrical Damping, plus

Unlimited R ange—Whenon,Dragexertsfull
damping strength over an unlimited range. When
off, the Range and Falloff setting s for the current
damping t yp e take effect.
Linear Da mping—Motion for each particle is
separated into vectors for the space warp’s local
X, Y, and Z axes. The area over which damping is
exerted for each vector is an infinite plane whose
thickness is determined by the corresponding
Range setting.
X Axis/Y Axis/Z Axis—Specifies the percentage of
particle motion along the local Drag space warp
axis that’s affected by the damping.
Range—Sets the thickness of the "range plane," or
the infin ite plane perpendicular to the specified
axis. Takes effect only when Unlimited Range is
turned off.
Fa lloff—Spec ifies the distance beyond the X, Y, or
Z Range within which Linear Damping is applied.
DampingisstrongestattheRangedistance,
decreases linearly out to the limit of the Falloff,
and has no effect beyond that. While Falloff ta kes
effect only beyond the Range, it is measured from
the center of the icon, and always has a minimum
value equal to the Range value. Takes effect only
when Unlimited Range is turned off.
Spherical Damping—When Drag operates in
Spherical Damping mode, its icon is a sphere
within a sphere. Particle motion is broken up into
radial and t angential vectors. Damping is applied
