About the video: Generative Design: Algorithms

Overview

“Here I will explain how you can generate abstract designs using mathematics equations.”

In this video lesson Desmond Du addresses the topic: Generative Design: Algorithms, which is part of the Domestika online course: Advanced After Effects: Coding for Motion Design. Take your motion design skills to the next level by learning to code expressions with JavaScript to create complex animation rigs with style.

Partial transcription of the video

“In this lesson, we will learn how to create abstract design by using the parametric equation of a conical spiral So let's dive into After Effects. Algorithmic design is the definition of parameters, rules and constraints, to produce a design animation So in our context, we're using some math equation of a conical spiral to position our layers along the curve automatically, As for what a parametric equation or how the math equation will look like, you know, we can reference this website from Wolfram. This is a code we're trying to recreate today. As a conical spiral. and you can see here are...”
