Max speed of an object.

Submitted by JokerMartini on Tue, 2011-05-31 07:24

I'm looking to find the max speed of an object in a scene. I figured I would just compare the position of the objects transform from frame to frame. But from there how would i find the max speed throughout the duration of the animation?

great.

Thank you Garp for the quick response to my question.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
I'll end up converting it to calculate the speed based on world units.
Thanks

Something like:

max_speed =
  amax (for t=animationRange.start+1 to animationRange.end collect
    distance (at time t $.pos) (at time (t-1) $.pos)) * frameRate
