bezier interpolation

I just got my Bezier interpolation working:



This thread was very helpful, and I stole the code for the cubic equation solver from here. The code to draw Bezier curves is from here.

Now I have to apply it to my animation curves.

animusic loop

A looping musical animation:



I was working on this all week - 14 hours straight on Thursday to get it in before the end of the day. It was heavily inspired by the Animusic videos.

Here are some lovely curves:



[edit: made it loop 4 times instead of once]

love letter

Dear Maya Animation Curves,

I'm hopelessly addicted to you. I can't stop thinking about setting your keyframes. I want to run my cursor over your splines. Let me unlock the weighting of your tangents, and manipulate your control points. I'll gently scrub back and forth along the timeline, and then we'll edit until our motions are in synch with the music. We can cycle to infinity all night long. Or at least until after the buses stop running.

Love,

Anna
