I saw on youtube a video, that in blender you can use the current frame number for animation.
For example where the Z angle, the author typed in something like “frame*3.14/180” and depending on the frame the angle changed. Unfortunately I can’t remember what exactly he typed in to make it work.
He probably added a driver and used an expression like:
bpy.context.scene.frame_current
I don’t think you can do that without a driver.
Thats the thing, I am 100% sure that he mentioned, how incredible Blender is that he can do it just using the correct word.
Note that the 3.14/180 part is just the conversion from radians to degrees.
Using 3.14 is probably not all that good because pi is not exactly 3.14.
It would be better to use:
(pi * bpy.context.scene.frame_current) / 180
Type
#frame*3.14/180
It is a driver. It’s a shortcut for entering a driver.
Thank you.
#frame*pi/180
is exactly what I was looking for. And I learned that drivers is a new thing I have to research to get good in Blender. What a great site.
