measuring speed without expressions

[John Keates]

Make a null at the root of the bone whose speed is to be measured. Have it translate to the moving bone with a lag of 1 frame. Make a bone that is at the position of the moving bone and aims at the null with scale to reach on.

 

Now you can make a relationship from the z scale of the streatchy bone to whatever you want to be governed by the speed of the bone.

 

Bish bash bosh, Bob's your unkle.

John,

Good idea.

Now... is there a way to have that distance displayed on the camera?

Like a digital read out...

Yep make an expression that drives a pose slider that displays numbers that match the pose sliders position.

You could do this lots of ways. One way would be to animate a decals's image's frame property in the pose.
