Excite

Automatically overshoot property values.

Description

Excite is a great tool to help with overshooting property values.

Setup

1. Select a Property, or multiple Properties that you would like to affect. The properties should be keyframed, but keys can also be added after running Excite.

2. With the Properties selected, open the Excite tool. Modify any of the Overshoot, Bounce, and Friction presets, and run Excite.

3. An effect control for each selected property will be created, allowing you to modify the overshoot animation

Options

The Excite options allow you to set preset values that will be applied to the Effect Controls after running the tool. You can set and save these presets for future runs.

Effect Controls

The Excite tool has the following effect controls:

Enable Enables the overshoot

Overshoot Affects the magnitude of the property value oscillation

Bounce Affects the frequency of the property value oscillation.

Friction How quickly the overshoot will decay. A Friction value of 0 will continue oscillating and never stop. A very high friction value will stop the overshoot oscillation very quickly.
