Use Heading Velocity Turn on to have the motion synthesis engine consider
heading velocity in determining whether to activate the state.
Range Choose Range to have the motion synthesis engine activate the clip
when the delegate's heading velocity falls inside the specified range.
Range Display After you synthesize on page 4934 the Master Motion Clips,
displays delegates' minimum, average, and maximum heading velocity.
Min Set a minimum heading rate value for the range.
Max Set a maximum heading rate value for the range.
Unique Choose Unique to have the motion synthesis engine activate the clip
when the delegate's heading rate matches a specific value, optionally with a
rising, falling, or constant value before or after the specified value.
Value Set a unique heading rate value.
In/Out These radio buttons let you specify the behavior of the parameter
before and after the unique value is met.
■ Anything Heading velocity before or after the target value is not relevant.
■ Decreasing Heading velocity decreases before or after it reaches the target
value.
■ Constant Heading velocity before or after the target value is constant.
■ Increasing Heading velocity increases before or after it reaches the target
value.
Scale Playback Speed group
These settings let you scale the rate at which the animation is played,
depending upon the heading velocity of the delegate. By default, when Scale
Animation is off, the object animation will always play at its normal rate. If
you turn it on, you can then set a Base Heading Rate, at which the animation
should play at its normal rate, plus a percentage to specify how much the
animation rate is modified by the actual delegate heading velocity.
Scale Animation Scales the clip's animation based on heading velocity.
Percentage Specify how much to alter the playback speed based upon the
difference between the delegate's heading velocity and the Base Heading Rate
setting.
The formula used is this:
