Hi I’m doing community challenge with GH (#Timo Nielsen)
Modeling spiral-staircase and I would like to know how to do video from my model.
I know that I can make animation. But when I have ca 760 pictures.
My photoshop and mac is dying. It’s very hard to convert to video.
Also I’m getting not smooth render after some wrong order or lagging in animation :-/
Do you have some tips and tricks how to Capture this ?
I will be very grateful
P.S.: I’m mac user and there is not many plugins unfortunately.
i am not fully sure but i always had an issue with animations, not using it at all i left the issues where they were. one thing i can recall and also after now quickly testing there seems to be a probem with the initial state showing. i assume that keeps blending inbetween which causes those strange lags.
on my image above you see 2 sets of stairs, one is the initial state which keeps showing. the second is from the rotation. so i have 2 sets of stairs showing when there should be only one.
maybe its not the issue and i am just too dumb to use grasshopper i would appreciate if somebody could point out how to hide the initial state then.
If you want this without the lag, create the geometry for each frame first, store all these in a list and use a list item to show one frame after another. If you need help doing that, post your Grasshopper file with the relevant geometry inputs internalised.
@martinsiegrist two more noob questions then how do i array to curve with set point? do i have to create a domain or a plane for that? in rhino i can set a basepoint then the curve arrays along the helix. in grasshopper i have no options.
and how do i convert the numbers from the slide to degree. right now i have to think in multiples of π which is not so handy.
how would i do that in grasshopper, since grasshoppers curve array does not allow to set basepoint or orientation. i assume you have to use orient and braid that into the definition but i am not sure. sorry pretty much noob here…
thanks Martin, i can only decipher the 2 curve components i really dont use grasshopper too often sorry, could you share that definition? or name the components?
