Radial animation



  • Hi everyone, I’m looking for a way to create a radial animation, I’m trying it with the following code:

    thickness = 10
    isOval = True
    limit = height()
    
    isBlack = True
    jumpinValue = 0
    
    while jumpinValue < limit*1.3:
    
        fill(None)
        strokeWidth(thickness)
        
        if isBlack is True:
            stroke(0)
        else:
            stroke(1)
            
        if isOval is True:
            oval((width()/2)-(jumpinValue/2), (height()/2)-(jumpinValue/2), jumpinValue, jumpinValue)
        else:
            rect((width()/2)-(jumpinValue/2), (height()/2)-(jumpinValue/2), jumpinValue, jumpinValue)
            
        newPage(1000, 1000)
        
        isBlack = not isBlack
        jumpinValue += thickness
    

    What I want to make is to keep the circles while new circles appear and then make the radial animation.

    Thanks for your help.



  • hello @eduairet,

    What I want to make is to keep the circles while new circles appear and then make the radial animation.

    you could draw the shape using a function which takes the number of steps as a parameter; at every new page, you increase the number.

    have a look at this example. good luck!



  • @gferreira it worked, thanks a lot, I want to know if there’s a way to control the speed of the animation?.

    def drawShape(step):
       
        jumpinValue = 0
        thickness = 3
        
        fill(None)
        strokeWidth(thickness)
        stroke(0)
        fill(None)
        
        translate(0, 0)
    
        for i in range(step):
            oval((width()/2) - (jumpinValue*3), (height()/2)-(jumpinValue*3), 10+(jumpinValue*4), 10+(jumpinValue*4))
            translate(thickness, thickness)
            jumpinValue += thickness
    
    # create pages/frames
    for i in range(150):
        newPage(1000, 1000)
        fill(1)
        rect(0, 0, 1000, 1000)
        drawShape(i+1)
        
    
    # save animation
    saveImage('~/Desktop/radial.mp4')
    


  • hello @eduairet,

    yes, you can set the duration of each frame in seconds – see frameDuration



  • @gferreira wow, this is huge!!! thank you again ✌ ☺
