Defualt Channel CP Interpolation setings

[bubba]

Where does A:M set the default value for Channel Interpolation? In the Channel CP Settings dialog box it lists Default, linear, etc.

The default interpolation method is initialized to spline for any channel (you cannot change the initial default as far as I know).

However, once the channel is created, you can change the default method for that channel from spline, to zero slope, hold, linear by clicking on the default icon (click on the "hump", or the pre, or post lines to see options), or selecting the channel and selecting curve/interpolation, or pre, or post. All new cps for the channel will be added with that method

 

You can also change the interpolation method for just selected keys - In my example the default interpolation for the x translate channel has been changed to hold, y and z are still spline. But in the Y channel I have segments that have been changed to linear

To set the default interpolation for a whole channel, select any CPs in it then >Curve>Interpolation Method> your choice

 

If you >Interpolation Method>Your Choice your are setting interpolation for just the selected CPs. These override whatever default you have set. If you want them to observe your new default, select them and >Interpolation Method>Default

Ok, I am still somewhat confused by the options but you say that default = spline, which in most cases should be fine. I am having somewhat of an issue with v16rc2 but I haven't quite sorted it out yet.

>Curve>Interpolation Method> ...

 

 

sets either Spline, Zero Slope, Hold or Linear as the new default behavior for your curve

 

 

the original default behavior is Spline (but under some circumstances A:M will make a Zero-slope CP. I'm not sure of the rules on that)
