Hello Dan,

Do you know how to offset the position of parented layers using an incremental value? Like, 1st layer 100px off, 2nd layer 110px, 3rd layer 120px…

Yep! You are right. Thks.

Thanks Dan…but if I was trying to control the scale property, could I write it like that?

slider = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);

size = linear(slider,0,100,50,200);

[size[0],size[1]]

Another lighter and better version? I will dive in it. Thanks!

Hello,

I’m a beginner on JS and expressions, but I was able to understand what you did. Besides the collision stuff, you also have also created the sine path using and expression (createPath()). It is amazing. Thanks.

WOW! It totally works! Many thanks! I’ve just opened the AEP file and I will try to understand how did you do this.

Thanks again!😀

Hello,

The ball (green) keeps the same X position all times, at the center of the comp, but its Y position goes up and down. At the same time, the wave shape layer (red) is moving from right to left (X position). It should looks like as the ball is always in the comp’s center, going up and dawn along the waves, and the red shape layer is moving…

Thks

Hi Dan,

I have a shape layer with one stroke inside and I would like to animate the shape property using a slider control.

When time = 0, k1 = k2, but when time in 1s. (exemple), k2 = k1 + slider controle value.

Do you know how to do it?

Thks,

edo

It works! Thks!

Hi Dan,

Thanks for this expression.

For a long time I was wondering how to jump to the next line at the edge of the composition. If I understood your code, when index = 49 (it will the 1st column of the 2nd line), index-1 = 48, myCol = 0, myRow = 1 and then the position[0] = 20 and position[1] = 60. That’s amazing.

However, it results in too many…

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the idea.

<font face=”inherit”>I created on Illustrator a layer with the ellipse grid complete and other three layers with some </font>ellipses<font face=”inherit”> subtracted (to create the transition between the complete to the incomplete grid). </font>

<font face=”inherit”>After that, I imported the AI file as a comp into…

Hi Walter,

I have just found this other plugin, Calvary, which seems also interesting.

you are correct, it might do not solve it, but it is a good idea and I can use it on another project.

thanks anyway,
