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

  1. Select the KawaiiPhysics node
  2. Expand the target Curve property
  3. Add and edit keys in the curve editor

Y axisParameter 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

SituationRecommended
Want same movement throughoutFixed value
Want different movement at root and tipCurve
Want special movement only in middle sectionCurve
tip

It's efficient to start adjusting with fixed values and switch to curves as needed.
