Continuous bounce
Hi I need help with the “famous” bounce expression. It`s interesting problem and I`m scratched out.
Because frequence and decay are low ( I need it to be extra elastic) it only work for two keyframes.
On keyframe 3 it snaps in its value and sometimes on keyframe 4, 5, 7, 9.. depending on the nearest key index I presume
I`m trying valueAtTime but I`m limited with knowledge.I need my keyframes not to be precise but relative to previous inherited velocity.
Thnx
freq = 0.5;
decay = 1;n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 0){
t = time - key(n).time;
amp = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - .001);
w = freq*Math.PI*2;
value + amp*(Math.sin(t*w)/Math.exp(decay*t)/w);
}else
value -

See what this version does for you:
freq = 0.5;
decay = 1;
val = value
n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 1){
amp = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - .001);
w = freq*Math.PI*2;
for (i = 2; i <= n; i++){
t = Math.min(time - key(i).time,10/decay);
amp = velocityAtTime(key(i).time - .001);
val += amp*(Math.sin(t*w)/Math.exp(decay*t)/w);
}
}

Absolutely beautiful, thank you Dan,
you sir are a gentleman and a scholar!It will take hours to see what you did there 🙂

This is slightly better:
freq = 0.5;
decay = 1;
val = value
n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 1){
w = freq*Math.PI*2;
for (i = 2; i <= n; i++){
t = time - key(i).time;
if (t > 10/decay) continue;
amp = velocityAtTime(key(i).time - .001);
val += amp*(Math.sin(t*w)/Math.exp(decay*t)/w);
}
}

Yeah this one is cleaner.
I was actually looking for solution to do this.
I call it inertial animation. (or Ice animation ☺ )
Basically with the tweak in frequency and decay I can make inertia in movement without null parenting, with fever keyframes and without tweaks to keyframe velocity.
Example above was done with the code below and just easing first keyframe of movement. (animation must be done in linear fashion, forward, keyframe by keyframe. Just like pushing hockey puck on ice)Once again thanks Dan!
freq = 0.001;
decay = 0.6;
val = value
n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time) n--;
}
if (n > 1){
w = freq*Math.PI*2;
for (i = 2; i <= n; i++){
t = time - key(i).time;
if (t > 10/decay) continue;
amp = velocityAtTime(key(i).time - .001);
val += amp*(Math.sin(t*w)/Math.exp(decay*t)/w);
}
}
