CV curve Animation Timing Problem

[steve-bell--2]

Hello all, this is my first post here, and would like some help with my maya project, im curently working in  maya 2011.

My problem is this:

I have created 2 cv curves and two balls, i have attached ball 1 to curve one and ball 2 to curve 2. no problem i want them both to run for 50 frames, but i want the inside curve the smaller curve of ball 1 to go round faster, than the 2nd ball.

I have been playing in the animation graph editor, and looking for the right U: value to edit.

i cant seam to work out the right vaules to make it work right? im newish to maya and try and work stuff out for myself, but ohh so many options

thanks for your time in this matter

hi steve,
I think you need to give us some screen shots of what you are doing. Your question doesn't sound too hard to answer but I would need to see a picture of the curves and maybe one of the animation curves in the graph editor.

I'll try anyway but maybe I didn't understood your problem correctly.

If your curves have the same length both balls will have to travel the same distance. If they both should run for 50 frames at constant speed, none of them could go faster than the other.

cheers, gl.
