Animate the 'u' and 't' values in the Formula Deformer
-
Hi,
The end result I’m aiming for is to animate a ramp down over time in both waves speed and wavelength from rapid and short to slow and long, but also maybe to play around with this freely if the client want’s something a bit more abstract.
It would be nice also if I could (seperate scene) create a falloff for the wavelength so that the further from the source, the longer the waves get.
I have scoured the forums and there are bits and pieces about using Python and User Data to be able to multiply u (and t) by an input value, but none of it is complete enough for me to figure out the process.
Can anyone help?
Alternatively, there isn’t a way to use the Formula Effector in 3D is there? It comes with animatable wave speed and length already but is only 2D as far as I can see. That would also get me to my goal if it were 3D – i.e. radial.
Thanks in advance for any advice or examples.
Jamie

p.s. ADMINS - The category selection when writing the post only gave me the 1 option of 'site issues' - not sure what this is about but if you could please move this post over to Questions & Answers I'd be very grateful
