Tutorial 77: Glitchy Dot LED Thing
Added 2017-06-30 07:50:34 +0000 UTCThis week we take a look at making some quick LED-style dots that can be used in a variety of ways—from just making an LED look, to making random dots for background elements. There's a couple of useful tips thrown about in there, like how to break your comps up into even squares and an expression for staccato movement. It's altered a little below with notes in case you need more guidance.
f = 3; //number of frames for each evolution step
e = 20; //degrees to evolve each step
t = Math.floor(time/thisComp.frameDuration/f);
t*e;

Hi Christian! By the way, I replied to your email last month about December, so let me know if I need to resend! Anyway, I never made a project file for this one. In the early days, I didn't always offer one. This project predates Patreon. I am compiling a lot of the early projects for inclusion into a compendium and I hadn't yet gotten this one in there. But I went back and fixed it up. You can get it here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/lttyoa8no8qwrgu/WB77%20Project.zip?dl=0) which others have you had problems with? As long as they're in the current month you should only have to go to the project file posts. I don't mind going back from time to time to get any that have expired though. Just let me know.
