Announcement: I've been streaming the editing of these videos on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/timeslidr ? Summary ? In my last video, I discussed some tips about making satisfying animated loops but in this video I’m going to focus on infinite scaling loops in-depth. Specifically, I’ll cover all the math involved in making infinite scaling loops work perfectly. I’ll be explaining how to use the formulas but don’t worry because you won't have to do any math. Everything is set up so it is driven by drivers and as long as you know how they work, it will be easy to use, I promise. I’ll show you how to prevent the loop from starting fast and then going slow. I’ll be giving you a script that calculates the center along with 4 Blender files that are setup so you can start making your own in 1, 2, or 3 dimensions. So if that’s something you’re interested in, bucket up because you’re in for a treat. ? Chapters ? 00:00 Intro 00:45 Theory 01:54 Working in 1D 05:12 Working in 2D 06:44 Working in 3D 08:30 Outro ? Formulas ? Scale up at a constant rate [Works in any dimension] (1 / scaling_factor) ** ( (iterations / animation_length) * (frame - start_frame)) Scale down at a constant rate [Works in any dimension] scaling_factor ** ( (iterations / animation_length) * (frame - start_frame)) Find the center in 1D [Works in 1D only] x = parameters_x / (1 - scaling_factor) y = parameters_y / (1 - scaling_factor) z = parameters_z / (1 - scaling_factor) Find the center in 2D [Works in 1D and 2D] The formulas below will work as a basic set up. x' = (((1 - scaling_factor * cos(angle)) / (1 + (scaling_factor ** 2) - (2 * scaling_factor) * cos(angle))) * x) - ((scaling_factor * sin(angle) / (1 + (scaling_factor ** 2) - (2 * scaling_factor) * cos(angle))) * y) y' = ((scaling_factor * sin(angle) / (1 + (scaling_factor ** 2) - (2 * scaling_factor) * cos(angle))) * x) + (((1 - scaling_factor * cos(angle)) / (1 + (scaling_factor ** 2) - (2 * scaling_factor) * cos(angle))) * y) Find the center in 3D [Works in 1, 2, and 3D] See script.
