Move Sine Wave Withing a Domain

by ShynnSup

Hello everyone!

Im currently trying to generate a sine wave with graph mapper, but with the addition of having planar points to both the side of this wave.

So the goal would be to:

-Move the Sine wave around this domain

-Maintain always the same separation between points

-Change the domain extension of the sine wave, being the maximum length the entire original domain set.

I have been trying with consecutive domains component, but Im not sure its the answer, the sliders are pretty loose and the separation between points is not always the same.

      Here's a solution that doesn't utilize equations for the less mathematically inclined :P

      You can also directly plug in values in to the bottom left Construct Domain to pin-point sine start/end instead as well.

      Adjust the Sine wave in your mapper so the Y value is right at the top for the height (/amplitude) slider to become relevant. (or I guess you can eyeball it if it doesn't matter so much) Be careful that the wave is right in the middle as the y values of all the points on the right can become non-zero if its slightly off (in your example its just slightly off-center).
      I tried replacing the Graph Mapper with a Sine component to simplify things (just had to change the preceding Remap target domain to '0 to Pi') but for some reason it doesn't look as smooth/nice.. whelp.

      Rereading your question, did you also want the points to be equidistant in 2 dimensions, not just on the x-axis?.. in which case Interpolate(IntCrv) the result and Divide Curve to get equidistant points I guess.

      Hope this one is a bit easier to digest for you
