Direction-Weighted Motion Modifier
Updated: 4 Dec 2023
Evaluates how much a transform moves in a particular direction.
Direction-Weighted Motion Modifier
Method #
This node evaluates how much an input object moves in a particular direction, and outputs a modifier value based on it.
The output is a numeric value that can be further processed with other modifiers, or directly connected to a parameter in another node, using the operation method selected.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Cone Angle
Movement cone angle for which movement within the cones direction will count toward the modifier.
Scale
Adjust the scale/range of the modifier.
Smoothing
Adjust the amount of smoothing to applied to the output value.
Decay
Controls the time between the peak to the sustain level.
Max Speed
Set a maximum speed the modifier can read for a value.
Operation
The operation to be performed on the targeted parameter.
- Add : Adds to the parameter value.
- Subtract : Subtracts from the parameter value.
- Multiply : Multiplies the parameter value.
- Replace : Replaces the parameter value.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
