Try it if you like; it??™s very unnatural.
TCB Shortcuts
LightWave enables you to quickly and easily control Tension,Continuity, and Bias controls in
the Graph Editor. You don??™t even need to click! Simply move your mouse over a particular
keyframe.Press F1 and drag the mouse to the left to set a negative Tension, or drag to the right
to set a positive Tension. Do the same for Continuity with F2 and Bias with F3. Cool stuff.
Figure 6.51 LightWave has numerous
curve types from which to choose.
TCB splines are not the only spline controls you have when it comes to controlling
keyframes. This version of the software employs Hermite and Bezier spline curves as well.
Hermite and Bezier Splines
Although TCB splines are often used for common, everyday animated elements, such as
flying logos or animated cars, Hermite and Bezier splines offer a wider range of control.
Both Hermite and Bezier splines can help you control your curve. It??™s up to you to experiment
and try both when working with the control of an item??™s motion. Knowing when
to apply curve controls such as these is important. As you work through the tutorials in
this book, the necessary controls are used so that you can see the direct effect.
