Playing with timers/analog signal to create cool lighting effects... and more

Archive: 13 posts


Awesome cat is back to give you more awesome tutorials

Yea, i wanted to create tutorial about timers and lightning and it turns out as a mish-mash of everything around timers. So its back of cool tricks that you may find useful

As you know my videos are unedited so you might watch moments where i fighting with what i suppose to do.... but i think thats a plus of my videos that they look less directed and more real (LBP) life situation

Part 1:

*Basic timer looping
*Analog Saw wave (aka normally looped timer )
*Triangle wave (forward/Backword)
*... which allows to make blinking too!
*Logaritmic/hyperbolic signal spikes

Part 2:
*Trying to remind myself to do...
*Half-sinusoid/Soft Pulseing wave, cool for aura light and such
*...and thats it... sincei lost timing

Part 3:
*Analog signal smother
*...which can detect intensivity of signal changes too.
*...and even more fun! It allows to do snicking system for sniking game
* "Probability lightning".... without OR gates like someone else did since he didnt notice some basic tweak in randomizer that allows to do that in simpler way
*Combining both ideas, and creating analog signal noice generator

Part 4:
* Summering smother and noise generator to make it clearer
* Broken-tape sounds
* Frontal lightning from the foreground useing bee anthena (i forgot to add in video that you can make it invisble)
*Thunderbolt lightning using lightning i mention

The awesome cat is back!

Always enjoy your videos. I consider you quite knowledgeable when it comes to logic, so to watch you struggle with it from time to time is reassuring. Also, I love your commentary: "So, if you're smart, you know that you can use a sequencer here... Wait, I don't need a battery here. Oh god, I'm so stupid..." LOL.

Once again, awesome work (and cat). The Bee Stalk idea is fantastic. I was actually grappling with this exact problem and wasn't happy with my LED solution. So I thought I'd take a break from creating and watch your new tutorial. I nearly broke the universe with the speed at which I went back to my PS3 to implement this!2011-04-17 10:28:00
