Curve Editor
This guide explains the curve feature for varying parameters along the bone chain.
Overview
Using curves, you can smoothly vary parameters from the root to the tip of the bone chain.
Root ←―――――――――――→ Tip
[====] Stiff Soft [ ]
Supported Parameters
The following parameters support curves:
- Damping Curve - Damping
- Stiffness Curve - Stiffness
- Radius Curve - Radius
Setting Up Curves
- Select the KawaiiPhysics node
- Expand the target Curve property
- Add and edit keys in the curve editor
Reading Curves
| Axis | Meaning |
|---|---|
| X axis | Position in bone chain (0=root, 1=tip) |
| Y axis | Parameter value |
Setting Examples
Hair
Stiff at root, soft at tip:
Stiffness Curve:
(0.0, 0.5) ← Root: stiffer
(1.0, 0.05) ← Tip: softer
Tail
Uniform movement:
Damping Curve:
(0.0, 0.2)
(1.0, 0.2) ← Same value throughout
Skirt
Widening toward hem:
Radius Curve:
(0.0, 5.0) ← Waist area
(1.0, 15.0) ← Hem
Curve vs Fixed Value
| Situation | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Want same movement throughout | Fixed value |
| Want different movement at root and tip | Curve |
| Want special movement only in middle section | Curve |
tip
It's efficient to start adjusting with fixed values and switch to curves as needed.
