Partially yeah
I was talking about when doing something like changing from a walk
animation to a run animation and instead of having the old animation
fade away at a constant rate (aka the new animation emerging at a
constant rate), having it be something besides just a linear
crossfade.
I'm pretty sure it's useful but i'm trying to figure out the specific
times that it would be useful (:
