Hi Edgard,

Well, it’s not the absolute simplest you can get with expressions, i will admit. I could have done something simpler.

But, there are some simple concepts in there, like parenting one paramater to another using the pickwhip, to create an avenue of data. That’s as simple as expressions get. I could have left it at that, but i don’t think it would have been too helpful. You see a lot of expression tutorials that basically have a rotating square controlled with expressions with an offset rotating square in the middle, but it occurred to me that that’s not the most useful thing ever to learn.

Hopefully this tutorial will have provided a bit extra, and while i agree there may be some challenging parts for someone completely new to expressions, i think if you write it out and get the code written down it all starts to make some sense. Also if i’d made it all too simple it wouldn’t be much of a stepping stone to the particle generator, but it definitely takes the vast sting out of the tail of that tutorial, so if you understand this tutorial, i can guarentee you’ll understand that one.

Never fear though, if you don’t understand just yet. I’ll likely be doing a lot of expression work to come, so anything you don’t get yet, just stick with us and we’ll get there.

Regards,

R.

I think it’s more an equalisation problem than a volume problem; try checking the tunnel tutorial and see if the levels are better, in which case, i’d suggest the audio levels are probably slightly low on that particular tutorial, although i’ve had no other complaints. It’s slightly difficult to judge output volume levels on rendering with one computer.
