Basic beginning Animation

[clivecarter]

I’d like to animate a closed brep for a simple animation in Grasshopper.

The basic definition attached below turns the brep with a slider, but is there a way of causing a (rotation) animation to be triggered by a button?

One-way would be good; slowly oscillating between start–end–start would be best!

not sure if you want somthing like this:

Make a slider run with timer without saving frames for making layers

Hello! I want to open a little discussion. I have a kind of “layer machine” done with Human for a thesis project, that it has a lot of layers and sublayers. What I’m doing first is to make all the layers and then bake my geometry. BUT, here’s the thing, i have to make 100 layers, so it’s kind of boring to being clicking over a over the slider, so is there a way to make the slider run by itself with a timer WITHOUT saving frames? if someone knows how, i appreciate it. gracias!

great examples by @maje90

ok here for “oscillating between start–end–start”

Thanks for looking at this.

When dragged manually from left to right, the slider oscillates the brep alright between the start and end position.

However, I’m looking for a button or a toggle control that would automate the animation. Just a back and forth, in this case, along a path that is an arc rotation.
