Thanks Kevin! I’m trying to apply this same theory to this project. Take a look at 1:52-1:58 of this video at the bottom of the page: https://about.dtnpf.com/ag/products/producer/grains/

Can i use this expression to set the first panel to pop out, then the rest to follow?

What expression can i use to start the first panel pop out then the rest follow? It’s just using the Z axis to come forward.

yep, that’s exactly what i’m looking for. I’ll search for that. Thanks!

Gotcha, thanks again Dan!

Worked like a charm! Thanks Dan!

So, I tried to just interchange the X and Y values, which did not work, and I noticed you must also change the ‘value[1]’ portion.

Why does x=scale[0] buy y=scale[1]?

I would figure whichever active parameter would equal 1.
Still learning how these expressions work.

Hi Dan, back again. Trying to get this to only be on the X axis. I’ve replaced the X and Y text, but that didn’t work.

How can I get the expression to only do the x and not the y?

maxDev = 10; // max deviation in pixels
spd = 20; //speed of oscillation
decay = 1.0; //how fast it slows down

n = 0;
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
if (marker.key(n).time > time){
n--;
}
}

if (n > 0){
t = time - marker.key(n).time;
y = scale[1] + maxDev*Math.sin(spd*t)/Math.exp(decay*t);
[value[0],y]
}else{
value
}

I totally agree, so do i parent the X value, then add an expression to delay the unfolding?

Hi Kim, sorry for getting back to this post late, but what exactly do you mean by “throw the images” onto the bars?

I want to have a single image that spans across all panels, and when you rotate another image comes together, so it’s as if a billboard turning around to form that new image.

I’ve tried your suggestion, which I think is very good, I just can’t quite get it to work.

Thanks!

Just make sure the layer that is using Particular is not extended past actual duration of the layer. If you move the particular layer forward in time, and decide you want to start the particular effects sooner, don’t drag the beginning of the layer to extend the time, you have to move the actual layer, not the front of it.

This is what fixed my problem. Not extending the layer past the original length.

Thanks for the great suggestion! I have not had the chance to try out the tips, but i will soon and report back if i find another tips or tricks along the way!

Have you tried keyframing the text from lef tto right using the X position axis?
