AVS tutorials

[neoknight]

It seems to me that one needs to know alot of algebra and advanced math to do anything worth while in AVS. Is there any site around that will tell me how to make an AVS Preset? you know like how to make a simple oscilascope (bad spelling, i know) at the bottom of my AVS screen with fire coming up from it?? i can get something like it done, but the simple osci-a-thingy isnt all the way down to the bottom of screen. Basically what i want to do is make a Wall of Fire .

Make a superscope, set it to lines/dots depending on your preference. And set it to "Waveform".
Put

code:
n=800

in the Init field. And

code:
x=i*2-1; y=1+v*0.5;

in the Per Point field.

That gives you an oscilloscope at the bottom of the screen. Make a movement with

code:


a=if(a-0.005,0.01,0.005);

y=y+a;

x=x+rand(100)/10000-0.005;

and "rect coords" checked, and that's a simple style of fire. Obviously, change the colours however you want.
I suggest making the superscope yellow and then adding a colour fade.
For the colour fade, put all three sliders in the middle. Then move the third one to the left 5 or 6 pixels.

Hope that helps!
