I have some questions about the animation of some things:
1. I want to add a light, which blinks every 5 seconds for like 5 minutes.
I could make this with Keyframes and copy and paste them, but when i change FPS it wont match up. Or I want to change it to blink all 6 Seconds. I would need to change all Keyframes.
I already checked out the Action-Editor(NLA), which let me do this quite nice(with reapeat Option), but im wondering if there are other possibilities..
Im used to AfterEffects where i just write an expression:
Code: Select all
if(time%5 == 0)
100%
else
0%
2. Another thing i want to do, when animating a car to drive on x-axis 500px, i want that an ParticleSystem, which is placed at the exhaust, to emit automatically more paricles when driving faster.
So my AE-Expression would look kinda like this:
Code: Select all
emitAmount = car.speed *10;
To summarize both questions: How can I use simple Expressions to change Values, based on other influences.
In Blender wiki i found http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2 ... ph/Drivers , which could be what i need, but its quite lot.
If you have any Tutorial about that or could explain to me how to do this, I'd be very happy
