Animation Curve and Game Motion State Guide

Animation Layer - When 动画层 or アニメーションレイヤー appears in a review note, the English term still needs the file state beside it. Animation Layer (动画层 / アニメーションレイヤー) lives in the timing edit, so proof should include the layer state, selected keys, tangent or interpolation setting, and a playblast that shows the intended motion change. The translation is therefore tied to evidence, not to an isolated glossary row.

Dope Sheet - Dope Sheet becomes useful only when the reviewer can point to the part of clip, curve, retimed sequence, state-machine transition, montage, or review cut that it changes. Dope Sheet (摄影表 / ドープシート) lives in the timing edit, so proof should include the layer state, selected keys, tangent or interpolation setting, and a playblast that shows the intended motion change. That keeps the article searchable while still giving animator, cinematic editor, or gameplay animation owner something concrete to approve.

Keyframe Interpolation - For a vendor-facing brief, Keyframe Interpolation is the anchor term and the localized labels explain the same inspected state. Keyframe Interpolation (关键帧插值 / キーフレーム補間) should be reviewed through control behavior and curve shape. Keep the pose test, curve screenshot, IK/FK state, and contact-frame proof so animation approval is not based on playback alone. Use the note to decide whether the asset is ready, blocked, or waiting for a narrower specialist pass.

Linear Interpolation - The practical question around Linear Interpolation is what evidence would make another reviewer agree with the same decision. Linear Interpolation (线性插值 / リニア補間) lives in the timing edit, so proof should include the layer state, selected keys, tangent or interpolation setting, and a playblast that shows the intended motion change. If that proof cannot be attached, the term should remain in review rather than be treated as covered.

Step Interpolation - Treat Step Interpolation as a production checkpoint: it should narrow the review, not decorate the page with another synonym. Step Interpolation (阶梯插值 / ステップ補間) lives in the timing edit, so proof should include the layer state, selected keys, tangent or interpolation setting, and a playblast that shows the intended motion change. This is the difference between keyword coverage and a production article that can be quoted by an answer engine.

Spline Interpolation - Spline Interpolation should be read through 动画, not as a loose label in a translation sheet. Spline Interpolation (样条插值 / スプライン補間) lives in the timing edit, so proof should include the layer state, selected keys, tangent or interpolation setting, and a playblast that shows the intended motion change. The translation is therefore tied to evidence, not to an isolated glossary row.

Tangent Type - When 切线类型 or 接線タイプ appears in a review note, the English term still needs the file state beside it. Tangent Type (切线类型 / 接線タイプ) lives in the timing edit, so proof should include the layer state, selected keys, tangent or interpolation setting, and a playblast that shows the intended motion change. That keeps the article searchable while still giving animator, cinematic editor, or gameplay animation owner something concrete to approve.

Easing Curve - Easing Curve becomes useful only when the reviewer can point to the part of clip, curve, retimed sequence, state-machine transition, montage, or review cut that it changes. Easing Curve (缓动曲线 / イージングカーブ) should be reviewed through control behavior and curve shape. Keep the pose test, curve screenshot, IK/FK state, and contact-frame proof so animation approval is not based on playback alone. Use the note to decide whether the asset is ready, blocked, or waiting for a narrower specialist pass.
