Text Characters Rotation Randomness

[Dan Ebberts]

Hmm… there are only two directions for rotation, so I think we need a more detailed description of what you’re after.

Hi Dan,

I have this expression applied to the Amount of a Text Animator, Expression Selector. I want the animation to return to its original start position when the Current Time Indicator gets to the end of the layer.

minVal = -10;
maxVal = 10;
minDur = .5;
maxDur = 1;

seedRandom(textIndex,true);
prev = next = inPoint;
prevVal = nextVal = 0;
while (time >= next){
prev = next;
prevVal = nextVal;
next += random(minDur,maxDur);
nextVal = random(minVal,maxVal);
}
ease(time,prev,next,prevVal,nextVal);

Something like this maybe:


seedRandom(textIndex,true);
myVal = random(-100,100);
midPoint = (inPoint+outPoint)/2;
if (time < midPoint)
linear(time,inPoint,midPoint,0,myVal)
else
linear(time,midPoint,outPoint,myVal,0)

Yes. I can understand and edit this one.
Thanks Dan!
