Chapter 2 Setting a Script’s Global Parameters 99
virtualSliderMode
When this parameter is turned off, dragging within any parameter’s value field in Shake
results in an edit bar appearing and the contents of that field being selected. When this
parameter is turned on, dragging within a parameter’s value field results in that
parameter being modified as if you were dragging a slider. This mode is very useful
when using Shake with a graphics tablet. You can also use these virtual sliders in the
value fields simply by dragging with the mouse.
virtualSliderSpeed
Adjusts the speed of the virtual slider. When using a stylus, it is recommended you set
this parameter to 0.
noodleTension
Lets you adjust how much “slack” there is in the way noodles are drawn from knot to
knot. Higher values introduce more slack, and noodles are more curved. Lower values
reduce the slack, and noodles are drawn in more of a straight line.
shapeControls
These subparameters allow you to customize the spline-based shape drawing and
editing behaviors and transform controls in the Viewer. You can change these
parameters to make it easier to use Shake’s controls for your individual needs.
rotoAutoControlScale
An option which, when enabled, increases the size of the transform controls of shapes
based on the vertical resolution of the image to which the shape is assigned. This
makes it easier to manipulate a shape’s transform control even when the image is
scaled down by a large ratio.
rotoControlScale
A slider which allows you to change the default size of all transform controls in the
Viewer when rotoAutoControlScale is turned on.
Note: You can also resize every transform control appearing in the Viewer by holding
the Command key down while dragging the handles of any transform control in the
Viewer.
rotoTransformIncrement
This parameter allows you to adjust the sensitivity of shape transform controls. When
this parameter is set to lower values, transform handles move more slowly when
dragged, allowing more detailed control. At higher values, transform handles move
more quickly when dragged. A slider lets you choose from a range of 1-6. The default
value is 5, which matches the transform control sensitivity of previous versions of
Shake.
