“I’m in the process of animating a helicopter-like character, so I came up with this simple expression to be able to animate it.
Since the animation is playing at 25fps and the maximum value we’re adding is 1, the maximum speed is 25 degrees per second. It’s not very fast but it LOOKS fast. In real life when things spin fast they reach a moment when it seems as if they slow down to a halt and then spin in the opposite direction. I wanted to avoid that effect, hence I am only using this small increase.”
