Variables for the maths impaired

Ches Dragon · 7th December 2002, 07:20

Having not done physics, my grasp on the variables is quite limited, Without a list of what variables do what I cannot really code in AVS. If someone could shed some light on what all the important variables are ( I hope I have the term correct...

) are, I could code much better.

for example

what does 't' control,

Hope you can share with me all your wisdom.

All variables used by AVS are mentioned in the texts that accompany the effect. Read them please... undocumented are:

Dynamic movement:
(x,y) for rectangular (range -1 ... 1)
(d,r) for polar/non-rectangular (distance and rotation)
alpha: transparency of the current gridpoint of the movement, range 0..1 (only used if Blend is on, or if "No Movement, blend only" is used)
w,h: idem as scope

Any other unmentioned variables (such as t) are defined yourself. 't' is commonly used as a time indicator which is reduced/increased by a constant every frame.

fyi: this belongs in the general avs forum, not in avs troubleshooting.

I would like to help you in that Primer, Although I may horribly lack coding skills, my skills with aesthetics and trance relaxation schemes Is what I would imagine as good. Hopefully we can help eachother, I might put a little something together adn email it in
