Pros:
- It's easier to see which one is active (i.e. the one you're editing), especially with the handle options that most people use.
- Thickness + opacity combined are much stronger than just opacity alone
Cons:
- Perhaps it's less visually accurate - harder to tell exactly where value lies with regard to the curve line. This is a major reason I've avoided doing this before, though I suspect that it's not likely to be that much of an issue in practice (i.e. people will zoom in several times before they need more precision)
Thoughts?
I like it, and I think it´s very useful. In character animation, usually you don't need very accurate values, so I think this isn't a problem.
ReplyDeleteAnd when you need very accurate values... well, you can introduce them numerically, or as you said, you can zoom in ;)
As far as I think it was my suggestion :)
ReplyDeleteBesides I've suggested to draw active F-Curves more accurate. If you will zoom it in you can see that F-Curve contains of several "segments". I think perfomance will not suffer if quantity of "segments" will be increased. Look in Maya for example.
And I suggest to make an option in the timeline "Playback Speed". Sometimes I need to see what will happen if I will playback animation with half of speed, or with double.
Blender does not support it yet...
Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteNice!
I reckon this is an improvement. Like Oliver, I dont care too much for accurate values (we can always type them in if so!)
ReplyDelete+1! This is a VERY welcome addition. if I need specific values, I'll type them in, otherwise, this makes f-curves MUCH friendlier to those animation complex character rigs(IMO).
ReplyDeleteI think this is great!
ReplyDeletevery nice man! this tweaks help a lot
ReplyDeleteDear developer. I tried to use your build, and found many useful features, especially I liked range limits on F-Curve modificators.
ReplyDeleteBUT... your build is very slow!
I'm trying to animate Sintel Lite, and my work became slideshow. Another builds work fine, but without your great additions.
