  • Weird behaviour with speed of a circling flare

    Posted by Sergio Pol on March 23, 2018 at 3:40 pm

    Hello, I’m working on this project where a ring of energy forms. At some point a flare appears following the shape of it. The client wanted the ring to start slow and gain speed progressively until it reaches full speed at 30 seconds then maintain that speed for 2 minutes and 30 seconds more. What resulted is that when it reaches full speed then slows down and keeps rotating much slower than needed. I’m sure it has to do with the easing but I haven’t figured out how to make it behave the way I need it to. Please help!! Thanks in advance!

    Yes I’m sorry I figured out I missed key information here. To rotate the flare I used the orbit tool from videocopilot which creates a 3D null in the scene makes it rotate and then I attached the flare position XY to the null. The speed is then controlled by a slider. I have the slider set to 30 at the beginning then go up to 300 at 30 secs and stay there. I hope this explains it better, thanks!
