Scale and rotation

Scale and rotation#

SCALE#

SCALE START / SCALE END#

Profile scale at the beginning and end of the visible chain:

  • 100% — original size;

  • 0% — the profile is collapsed;

  • values above 100% enlarge the profile.

SCALE CURVE#

The Function Curve remaps the transition from Start to End. The horizontal axis is the position along the chain; the vertical axis is the interpolation factor.

SCALE DEFORM MODE#

LOCAL

The Start → End transition is normalized over the currently visible chain. As Grow changes, the entire gradient remains stretched across the visible portion.

GLOBAL

The transition is tied to overall growth progress. At partial Grow, the corresponding part of the full gradient is visible.

ROTATION#

ROTATION START / ROTATION END#

Profile rotation at the beginning and end of the chain. The interface accepts values far beyond one full turn, allowing multiple twists.

ROTATION CURVE#

Controls the nonlinear transition between the start and end angles.

ROTATION MODE#

NORMAL

Rotates the finished rings around the path’s local axis. This is the compatible, visually predictable mode.

MATRIX

Applies rotation directly to the profile-matrix basis. This is useful when rotation must follow the Sweep matrices’ orientation.

ROTATION DEFORM MODE#

LOCAL and GLOBAL work like the Scale modes: they either normalize rotation over the visible chain or tie it to overall Grow progress.
