  • Expression to generate solids of different shapes to a grid?

    Posted by Kit Carson on March 18, 2017 at 5:40 am

    I am working on some content for this LED sculpture:

    Currently im working on a section of the video where there is a solid of different positions as size that flashes up to a rhythm, in which the pace ascends over time. This is what I have created so far:

    Is there an expression, script or plugin that could automatically position squares or lines across the canvas differently for each frame? Or even better, lines / squares that snap to a grid that is linked to the canvas shape?

    In after effects im just working with a flat canvas, which then gets mapped to the sculpture:

    Thanks in advance!

    I guess you need a script for generating solids. Expressions can only control preexisitng objects.
    But since this is the expression section I guess no one is able to help you here.
