Subject: [810-088-12-FALL] Quiz on Wednesday...  3 topics...

Hello 088 students,

     1.  If you need to get your password reset, they do that at the
         CCC (Computer Consulting Center) on the bottom floor of
         ITTC building (old East Gym).

         They do it WHILE YOU WAIT and it only takes a few minutes
         until it is in effect.  They set it back to your student
         ID number.

         ------------------------------------------------------------
         If you request a new account on sunny.uni.edu, that takes
             about a week and they have you fill out a form.

         NOBODY IN MY CLASS WOULD NEED A new sunny.uni.edu account
             request, unless you added the class very, very late!

         So do NOT make the mistake of telling them you need a new
             sunny account, if you just need to have your password
             reset back to your student ID number.

             They change passwords WHILE YOU WAIT!

     2.  We covered wiggle() again today.
                    --------

         Wiggle() is built into the Expressions language.

         http://www.uni.edu/jacobson/AE/snow/GeduldBookIntroAndChap01.html

   wiggle(freq, amp, octaves=1, amp_mult=.5, t=time)

   wiggle(freq, amp)   <------- We will IGNORE 3rd, 4th and 5th arguments.

   wiggle(freq, amp, octaves=1, amp_mult=.5, t=time)
          ----  ---  ---------  -----------  ------
          VIP   VIP  IGNORE     IGNORE       IGNORE

   wiggle(freq, amp)     or     wiggle(frequency, amplitude)

           is the simplified version and is all we need to use.

     Argument type: freq  and   amp    are both numbers.
                    ----        ---

     Randomly shakes (wiggles) the value of the property.
                                    Shake, rattle and roll!  :-)

     freq     value is the frequency in wiggles per second.
                       How many times per second to WIGGLE.

     amp      value is the amplitude in units of
                    the property to which it is applied.
                       How MUCH to wiggle the property.
                       --------

     So freq is HOW OFTEN to wiggle.
     And amp is HOW MUCH or HOW FAR to wiggle.

        wiggle(.2, 35) was all we used and all we needed.

           The .2 means wiggle once every 5 seconds.

           The 35 means to wiggle as much as -35 away
                                   from the DIRECTION to as
                                   much as 35 away, which meant
                                   the smoke would be blowing in the wind
                                   as much as 35 degrees to the left to as
                                   much as 35 degrees to the right.

       Creating a Flock of Birds part 2 - 9:44 or about 10 minute long
                                                         video tutorial.

      The quiz on Wednesday will cover:

                        a.  the above two video tutorials on bird
                                flocking and After Effects, and

                        b.  the wiggle() Expression, and

                        c.  knowing the types of files such as

                               .swf, .fla, .flv and .html

                              from the tutorials on uploading
                              your project to sunny.

                              What do we create with the RENDER when
                              we have an AE comp we want to share
                              on the web?  What did we produce with
                              After Effects (from RENDER QUEUE).

                              How do we use Flash with that rendered
                                  FLV Flash Video and what do we
                                  produce with Flash?
