Hello,
I was trying to study how the tangents are decided/calculated from the TCB values. So I came across this file and saw how the in-tangent and out-tangent are calculated. It uses bezier between two waypoints.
Now I created a star layer and three waypoints and tried to predict there motion using the in-tangents and out-tangents but got some unexpected results.
The file I am using is MovingStar.sifz (861 Bytes)
All the waypoints used have TCB interpolation methods(both in and out).
I will show the calculation of in-tangent at waypoint 2:
I am assuming that all the tangents are calculated with respect to the waypoints. That is the in-tangent is calculated with respect to waypoint-2. Please correct me if I got this wrong.
Now in the above image, “T
” represents what I expected to be the tangent should have been. But when you open the attached file in synfig and run it, you will get the tangent “O
” approximately(I don’t know how to find the exact co-ordinates).
Please tell me where am I going wrong or did I miss something?
