Making a breathing effect

Post by Wibs »

Hi,

I am trying to make a breathe in/out effect.

In theory, I could make this by manually adding points to the basic block's generic dimmer property and selecting the fade in/out curves I think work the best, but this seems like a lot of work and also, if I adjust the length of the timeline, I would have to manually drag the points into new positions. I understand that this is because the points are time-based, not % of the timeline based.
Since there is no "hold orthogonal" button, I can by accident change the value of the dimmer while dragging and would have to re-adjust this.

This also does not work for the pre-set effects - e.g. rainbow

Any suggestions?

Hello,
You might find interest in the "custom loop" option, which would allow you to force the amount of times the block loops on itself, regardless of its duration.

If you only want the block to loop once, no matter what final duration you chose to give it, check the "custom loop" option, and make sure it only loops once.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
TomHat
