what makes this animation so jittery | Godot Café | Page 1

#

the mortat animation is very jittery fsr, im using the speed scale property btw if that hurts perf

#

im also using physics interpolation

We're looking at the animation of the mortar projectile flying through the air?

yes

animation node

#

i actually made it a 10 seconds animation then used the speed scale to scale it down

#

wut why is it looking so smooth in the video

strange hound Oct 5, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

I was going to say

#

Lag on your end..?

#

But then surely it would show in the video..

#

Weird

carmine flare Oct 5, 2024, 11:05 AM

#

weird

#

its not lagging anymore

#

strange hound But then surely it would show in the video..

no i used the godot tool

#

movie maker ig

#

idk maybe it was just some unrelated lag affecting it

#

hey it works now so its fine, any unrelated suggestions, you seem to know your shit

#

I've done my fair share of game jams in godot, so I've kind of learned a lot because of that, but I don't know everything

#

My only suggestion might be to change the interpolation mode?

#

It looks like it's linearly moving to the highest point and then linearly moving down

#

Ideally it would be more of a smooth curve

#

strange hound Ideally it would be more of a smooth curve

how do i do that

#

can we use curve texture in animations?

carmine flare Oct 5, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

the curve icon is greyed out for me fsr

#

To the right of the track, that orange symbol, that should be a dropdown that lets you choose the interpolation mode

carmine flare Oct 5, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

oh i thought it was the blue curve at the bottom

strange hound Oct 5, 2024, 11:44 AM

#

I think that symbol at the bottom is greyed out because you aren't using any bezier curves in this animation

carmine flare Oct 5, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

is it possible to add them now

strange hound Oct 5, 2024, 11:45 AM

#

You shouldn't need them

carmine flare Oct 5, 2024, 11:47 AM

#

strange hound You shouldn't need them

then how do i use curves in my animation for the mortar shell

strange hound Oct 5, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

Swap the interpolation mode

carmine flare Oct 5, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

oh i switched to cubic interpolation, it looks way better now, but i dont really get what it does

strange hound Oct 5, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

The symbols help to explain it a bit

#

Basically, instead of following a straight line from point a to b, it follows a smoother curve, accelerating/decelerating throughout the movement

what does the white one do

#

dues it just snap to the value when u reach the time

strange hound Oct 5, 2024, 11:50 AM

#

I assume (haven't tested that one)

#

I actually haven't touched this node at all -w-

#

But I did some quick testing just now so I could answer properly
