Envelope actor has the ending point, but I found that if I connect end trigger to start trigger, it forms a loop circuit. Then, I can put Trigger Delay or the other Envelope actor to make the loop more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of a looping part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-7.45.12-PM-1024x606.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-7.45.12-PM-1024x606.png 1024w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-7.45.12-PM-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-7.45.12-PM-768x454.png 768w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-7.45.12-PM.png 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next task was to insert some randomness. Random actor was one of the solutions, for sure. But I also used the differences between frequencies to make transitions seems random (it\u2019s not actually random as different pitches make a long period loop, but it behaves like random on our eyes at least).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s example; I used three Wave actors to change RGB values. As each frequency is different, the whole color transition seems random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-8.03.11-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-8.03.11-PM.png 920w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-8.03.11-PM-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-8.03.11-PM-768x421.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I found some actors to adjust values. For example, to make a star shaped polygon (an offset regular polygon) whose facets randomly change, I had to convert values generated by Random actor into integer even numbers. I used Float to Integer actor to get integer numbers and connect it to Calculator actor which multiplies it by 2 to make even numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-8.03.28-PM-1024x369.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-8.03.28-PM-1024x369.png 1024w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-8.03.28-PM-300x108.png 300w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-8.03.28-PM-768x277.png 768w, https:\/\/dems.asc.ohio-state.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screen-Shot-2023-09-12-at-8.03.28-PM.png 1194w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout those process, I slowly realized that what Isadora\u2019s chart of actors actually represents is definitely coding; accepting triggers, convert input values into outputs, and send values or signals to the next lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, it reminded me of building an electric circuit; make a loop of multiple signals by connecting modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, rather than a final output on Stage monitor (I\u2019m certainly satisfied with it for sure), the realization of this sense (Isadora is coding\/circuit building) was the biggest achievement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my goals for this project was to create an automatic transformation that keeps changing its shape randomly.
