Understanding the Advanced Rotator Speeds

BeardOfBronze

I don't understand the inputs/ouputs from the X/Y/Z speed for the Advanced Rotator.

If I set the speed in the tweak menu to a random number, say 16.4deg/sec, and then output it to a value slider the value slider just displays 0.3.

If I input 0.3 with an 'Overwrite' blend mode, I get a speed of 17.2deg/sec.

It seems like the inputs/outputs are operating on a different scale that the speed value.

    I'm pretty sure the output is in radians per second. I discovered this when I wanted to convert the output to revolutions per minute, for the standard rotator.

    I think OgTheEnigma is correct. The input wire is expecting a value in Radians, despite the output displaying in degrees. This drove me crazy for quite some time and wish it was mentioned in the tooltip.


    You can find a derees-to-radian gadget in the dreamiverse. Wire what you think the speed should be in degrees to the input and then the output into the rotator speed.
