Boolean Controller
The Boolean Controller is a variation on the On/Off controller. It provides a
similar functionality, but with one significant difference. The on/off state of
the parameter does not switch automatically every time you add a key. This
allows you to effectively add keys in the middle of a sequence without creating
unintended drastic changes.
Waveform Controller
A
Waveform controller on page 3265 generates values by combining periodic
waveforms. You can specify different types of waveforms and add waveforms
together to create complex animation.
Waveform was originally created to control blinking lights. Use it for any
value that you want to vary in a regular, oscillating pattern.
Controlling Transforms
Transform controllers are compound controllers. They set the type and
behavior of the controllers used for Position, Rotation, and Scale.
You assign Transform controllers using either Track View — Curve Editor or
the Motion panel. Compound Transform controllers do not display properties
in Track View. You can access the parameters of Transform controllers only
in the Motion panel.
Position/Rotation/Scale Controller
The
Position/Rotation/Scale (PRS) controller on page 3220 is a simple Transform
controller applicable for most objects. When applied the PRS Transform
controller sets up default Bezier Position, TCB Rotation, and Bezier Scale
controllers.
Use a PRS controller whenever you want a standard transform set up or when
you want single function curve control over the Position, Rotation, and Scale
controllers.
NOTE PRS controller is no longer the default controller applied to all objects. The
latest version of the software uses Position XYZ and Euler XYZ as the new default
controllers for position and rotation transforms.
