ABSTRACT:
Segments of a motion path are assigned a time factor and the motion path a total time factor. The time factor for each segment may be a percentage of the total time factor or a number of clock ticks. Once the total time factor is assigned, the remain segment time factors can be dynamically created therefrom. If the segment time factors are created before assigning a value to the total time factor, the total time factor will be a sum of the segment time factors.
