Dynamics

The FcrvSelect->Dynamics command in the Motion module displays the dynamics function curves. See the description of the Dynamics commands starting on Dynamics->Option Setup.

For more information on all tasks related to editing function curves, see the Editing Function Curves section of the Animating User's Guide.

Procedure

1. Select an object animated with dynamics.
2. Choose the FcrvSelect->Dynamics command.

The Fcurve window and the specified function curve(s) appear.

All

Displays all function curves available for dynamics.

Transition Curve

Displays the transition function curve which shows when the selected object is animated using dynamics. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window are either 0 (standard) or 1 (dynamics).

Root Position Constraint

Displays the root position constraint function curves. This is the parameter that fixes an object to a location - it doesn't fall because of gravity when it is simulated with dynamics.

Elasticity

Displays the elasticity function curves. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window range from 0 to 1, but can be increased.

Static Roughness

Displays the static roughness function curve. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window range from 0 to 1, but can be increased.

Kinetic Roughness

Displays the kinetic roughness function curve. The values on the vertical axis of the Fcurve window range from 0 to 1, but can be increased.
