Another Thread in EIAS paradise...

Maybe you already did that and I don't know if this is up to date but there is a tutorial (# 15) on Ei web site:

The two curves are very, very similar.

For the Velocity curve, you've got an object at rest at the beginning, then it's rotational velocity increases, peaks, then decreases, and comes to rest again. There is no description of it's actual angular position on the velocity curve, only that it's turning faster, then slower.

The Function curve shows about the same information, but in a different way. The cube starts with a Y value of zero, then eases into a rotation, then eases out of it's rotation, and finally stops at 360 degrees. As it rotates, it's rate of change is Constant. Once past the ease in the slope stabilizes, and remains the same until the ease out.

In the Velocity curve, the RATE of change Increases to a peak value, then Decreases until it comes to a rest. It's changing throughout the animation, which gives it a slight offset from the other cube.

Nice example, by the way. One that shows two different ways of animating depending on the look you're after. (Now if EIAS would just let up pull on the Tangent handles to tighten up our curves!)
