Can't figure out how to make a sphere.
Anyway, Im a beginner in coding. Haven't released anything either.

So would anyone give some examples of how to make a sphere in DM? Only a sphere. No spinning stuff or moving. Thats up to me to code :) LOL!

*tey if you are begineer I suggest you start with something easier than creating a sphere in DM. In fact I would suggest not looking seriously at DM at all until you have a good understanding of most of teh other aspects of AVS.

Tru dat Rovastar. Despite a sphere being a simple shape there's still a fair amount of code behind it. Best to start small and work your way up. To be honest, I haven't made a sphere with a DM. I know they math, but the DM acts in ways that are beyond me sometimes. I just don't get why it does what it does.

Poke around and work your way up. That's what everyone here did and is still doing.

Bah.

If you want to learn how to make a sphere search the forums - many a sphere have been made. Search through presets finding ones that have spheres - there's a lot of them. Don't just demand for code for a sphere - figure it out yourself. We can help you but we're not about to just give you the answer - that's no fun for us and doesn't make you any better.

frame: fr=fr+0.05;speed=0.012+0.005*sin(fr)
beat: fr=fr+0.5;
dir=rand(40)/1000-0.02
pixel: x=if(above(x,0),x-speed,x+speed);y=y+dir

I learned it from AVS masters.

Thats just defunct code, not a sphere.

check this out:
:: Dynamic movement ::


-init-
rr=0.5;
-pixel-
d=if(above(d, rr), d, ($PI/2-acos(d/rr))/($PI/2)*rr);

Best viewed with maximum grid size and wrap+billinear filtering on.

does it work?

Please don't revive dead threads, it has been dead for more than two weeks!

But since it's alive again anyway...
Here's the preset that's been used the most around here - NemoOrange's 'As soft as glass'.


d=if(below(d,.4),(tan(d*3.1459*1.1)*.2),sin(-d*1.8)*1.4)

next time, sort things out yourself.

You need to use the full reply form rather than the quickreply form at the bottom of the thread.
