Animation deceleration and start again

Post by PXLstar » 04 Feb 2013, 14:36

Hi Guys,

Might be a simple one but I can't work this out at the moment.

If you have an animation ( or mover ) lets say 0 - 100 looped, and at any point you click & you wish to slowly decelerate to a stop and then on click again slowly accelerate to continue the loop, how do you do that ?

Cheers

Colin

Hi chriss,

I don't think that's going to do what i need,( I take it you mean just increase the duration to stop ). my animation needs to go from 0 - 100, 0 - 100, 0 -100 and I need to stop ( slowly ) at anywhere on that range and then continue from the stopped point ( slowly )

cheers

Colin

also needs to continue in the forward motion from the stopped point :)

A solution ( thanks for the hints Erik ) see attached VZA, although a bit messy if the object had to be on screen, visible, all of the time. ( maybe there is a better way of doing it ? )

yeah needs to be without swing, would be good if there was a stop or pause with deceleration and acceleration function on the mover node :(
