My heart's pounding too much to sleep.
Perhaps in AE expressions, modulus and trig functions are as important as Critical Eye and Iai Slash.
I've always kinda had trouble getting used to modulus and avoided it back when I did programming, but let's try to actually use it.
When a=2, it'll flicker back and forth like an on/off, and if you make a=3 and offset the numbers, you can rotate between resources like A→B→C→A→... Seems handy once you master it.
I'm a baby, so I'm quick to make mistakes.
Feel kinda satisfied, so I'm going to bed.
Memorandum. (might be wrong in places)
Use Modulus More!!
- What is modulus (%)?
a % b ⇒ The remainder of a divided by b
Example: 3÷2 = 1 remainder 1; 5÷2 = 2 remainder 1; 12÷5 = 2 remainder 2 (this part)
Roset: "Even a grade schooler knows this!"
- What's it used for?
Wanna make a value move like this [smooth wave]... ⇒ Use trigonometry!
Wanna make a value move like this [jagged wave]... ⇒ Use modulus!
The heck does that mean?
EXPLANATION
Using x % a (where a is an arbitrary constant), change the value of x!!
For instance, with a=3...
x=3; 3÷3 = 1 remainder 0
x=4; 4÷3 = 1 remainder 1
x=5; 5÷3 = 1 remainder 2
x=6; 6÷3 = 2 remainder 0
x=7; 7÷3 = 2 remainder 1
x=8; 8÷3 = 2 remainder 2
x=9; 9÷3 = 3 remainder 0
(the remainders are the results of x % 3)
Graphing x and the result of x % 3...
Tesro: "It looks kinda like stairs now!!"
The bigger a is, the more smooth like this it gets.
- Expression I Made Today
35 - (time % 35)
Graph of the (time % 35) part looks like this.
35 [flat line] - time % 35 [upward diagonal lines] = result [downward diagonal lines]
And in that way, I was able to make an expression that loops going from 35 to 0!!!!!
Reuploading for the grade-schoolers...
I'm a kindergartener, so I calculated 5÷2 wrong. I'm sorry.
I was so focused on making my CD I couldn't do anything for Vocaloid Collection (though I did appear on a stream), but I wanna do some kind of arrangement later!!!
But I'm still kinda unsure why the if statement didn't work after the first time, lol
I'm super bad at using modulus so I barely think to use it, but it seems like it'll be essential for AE expressions, so I should try to get used to them...
koizuka: "I don't know AE's coding language, but it seems to have modulus (%), so could you write x=35-(time*50 % 35)?"
This was it...
It's super irritating how it'd be faster to just make keyframes and loop than think about it like this... I'm mad...
I wanna make an animation where opacity loops over time from 35 to 0, but using this, the if statement for x being less than 0 only triggers once????? AE expressions are hard.
I want all humanity to listen to this song called Oort Cloud, and I want lifeforms outside Earth to listen to it too.
Thinking "as much weight as I gain, at least I'd appeal to people with a fetish for this kind of body type" is probably a bad thing.
Making parodies as naturally as breathing.
The princess inside me is constantly aspiring to buckets of pudding.
Waugh! My hand slipped and I accidentally leaked the title of a song!!
It's so amazing to do makeup and take a train on an outing three days in a row. Other than the masks, it's just like back then...
My CD
is the greatest
I was thinking of waving too, but the train departed and the girl left.
On the station platform, a girl waved to the train, and the driver waved back, and a passenger waved back too, and I was like "I love humans!!!!"
Really, humanity's so amazing for creating vaccines.
I was saying "I'm way too happy" in my dream, but it was a dream, so will I become at least a little happy in reality?
