blender 18 animation geometry node 2

add -> random value

multiply points speed by random value

each point moves at different speed

add -> instance on points before output

feed sprinkles to instances

feed random value vector to rotation

points are replaced with sprinkles

add -> rotate euler -> select axis angle

divide #frame by 10 and feed to euler angle

each sprinkle rotates as frame # increase

multiply sprinkle rotation speed by random value and feed to euler angle

sprinkles moves at different speeds and rotations

add -> utility -> random value

change to random to vector type

add -> geometry -> set position

hover over offset field, press I to insert a frame at #0

shift + right arrow to go to the end frame #100

change offset, press I to insert key frame again

press space to play animation

right click on set position -> delete key frames

add -> input -> value

input value #frame. during animation frame # will be the value

add -> search -> combinedXYZ

only offset value in z axis

press space, points move in z axis

blender 16 animation graph editor

create a simple rotation animation in layout mode

in animation tab, select graph editor

scroll to zoom horizontally, ctrl + scroll to zoom vertically

delete x, y euler rotation by select and press X

z axis rotation starts at -30 degree ends at 690 degree 

ctrl + right click to add a key frame at frame #50

adjust lever of key frame 50 so that slope is smooth

adjust lever at frame #0 to ease in 

animation rotation speed follows the graph editor

blender 15 simple animation

 

change to Y axis view, ctrl + Alt + number pad 0 to center camera

select icing, shift + select donut

ctrl + P -> object

icing becomes the child of donut, when donut moves, so is icing

rotate donut 60 degree along x axis

adjust resolution in scene property

change where to save animation in output directory

update start and end frame #

adjust focal length in camera property

uncheck visibility for object not shown on render

move frame slider to #1

select donut, press I -> location to insert location

move frame slider to #100

press G to move donut, press I -> location to insert location again

in render tab, select render animation

press R to rotate in z axis, scroll to adjust rotation diameter

create variety of sprinkles

can select different sprinkles as icing object, but only one can be display at one time

select all types of sprinkles, press M -> new collection

drag and drop sprinkle collection on geometry node

check separate collection and reset collection on collection node
