Heading Velocity Panel 1261
Percentage—
Specify how much to alter the
playback speed based upon the difference between
the delegate’s pitch velocity and the Base Pitch
Rate sett ing.
The formula used is this:
Animation Speed change % = (current speed/Base
Pitch Rate -1 ) x Percentage %
For example, if a delegat e’s pitch velocity is 50
percent above its base heading rate, and the Scale
Percentage value is 50, then the playback speed is
scaled up by 25 percent.
Base Pitch Rate—Specifies the delegate pitch
velocity at which the animation should be played
back at its normal rate.

To have delegate heading velocity considered for
motion synthesis, t urn on Use Heading Velocit y,
choose R ange or Unique, and then make the
appropriate settings.
Heading velocity is determined by the rate of
change in degrees p er frame of the angle of the
delegate about the world Z-axis. In other words,
heading velocity measures how fast the delegate
is changing its heading.

Use Hea ding Vel ocity —Turn on to have the motion
sy nthesis engine consider heading velocity in
determining whether to activate the state.
Range—Choose Range to have the motion
sy nthesis e ngine ac tivate the clip w hen the
delegate’s heading velocity falls inside the specified
range.
