Quick Stretch

The FcrvSelect->Quick Stretch command in the Motion module displays the Quick Stretch function curves. See the description of Quick Stretch commands starting on QStretch->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 deformed by Quick Stretch.
2. Choose the FcrvSelect->Quick Stretch command.

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

All

Displays all function curves available for Quick Stretch.

Maximum Deformation

These function curves show the maximum deformation for each type of motion component (velocity, acceleration, rotational velocity, and rotational acceleration). Each component has three function curves associated with it, one for each deformation type (Flex, Stretch, and Yield). These are set and keyframed with the Maximum option in the Quick Stretch Setup dialogue box.

All

Displays all maximum deformation function curves for Quick Stretch.

Velocity

Displays the maximum deformation function curves associated with the velocity component. There are three function curves, one for each deformation type (Flex, Stretch, and Yield).

Acceleration

Displays the maximum deformation function curves associated with the acceleration component. There are three function curves, one for each deformation type (Flex, Stretch, and Yield).

Rotational Velocity

Displays the maximum deformation function curves associated with the rotational velocity component. There are three function curves, one for each deformation type (Flex, Stretch, and Yield).

Rotational Acceleration

Displays the maximum deformation function curves associated with the rotational acceleration component. There are three function curves, one for each deformation type (Flex, Stretch, and Yield).

Sensitivity

These function curves show the level of sensitivity for each type of motion component (velocity, acceleration, rotational velocity, and rotational acceleration). The level of sensitivity is essentially a scaling factor. Each component has three function curves associated with it, one for each deformation type (Flex, Stretch, and Yield). These are set and keyframed with the Sensitivity option in the Quick Stretch Setup dialogue box.
