ComfyUI Node: 🌊 Depthflow Motion Arc

🌊 Depthflow Motion Arc:

The DepthflowMotionArc node is designed to apply an arc-shaped motion to a specified target parameter within your animation or visual project. This node is particularly useful for creating smooth, curved transitions that mimic natural motion paths, such as the arc of a thrown object or the gentle curve of a swinging pendulum. By allowing you to define the start, middle, and end points of the motion, the node provides a high degree of control over the shape and dynamics of the motion path. Additionally, options to reverse the motion or make it cumulative enable further customization, making it a versatile tool for artists looking to add dynamic and realistic motion effects to their work.

🌊 Depthflow Motion Arc Input Parameters:

target

The target parameter specifies the parameter to which the arc motion will be applied. It determines the aspect of your project that will be influenced by the motion path. The default value is the first option in the TARGETS list, and it is crucial to select the correct target to achieve the desired effect.

start

The start parameter defines the initial value of the arc motion. It sets the starting point of the motion path, allowing you to control where the motion begins. The value can range from -9999.0 to 9999.0, with a default of 0.0, and it can be adjusted in increments of 0.01 for precise control.

middle

The middle parameter sets the midpoint value of the arc motion, which influences the peak or trough of the motion path. This value is crucial for shaping the arc, as it determines the highest or lowest point of the motion. Like the start parameter, it ranges from -9999.0 to 9999.0, with a default of 0.0 and a step size of 0.01.

end

The end parameter specifies the final value of the arc motion, marking the endpoint of the motion path. It allows you to control where the motion concludes, ensuring a smooth transition to the next phase of your animation. The range is from -9999.0 to 9999.0, with a default of 0.0 and a step size of 0.01.

reverse

The reverse parameter is a boolean option that, when enabled, reverses the time direction of the motion. This feature is useful for creating backward motion effects or reversing the sequence of an animation. The default setting is False.

cumulative

The cumulative parameter is a boolean option that determines whether the motion should be added to the previous frame's value. Enabling this option allows for the accumulation of motion over time, creating a compounding effect. The default setting is False.

🌊 Depthflow Motion Arc Output Parameters:

The context does not provide specific output parameters for the DepthflowMotionArc node. Typically, the output would be the modified target parameter with the applied arc motion, but without explicit details, this remains a general assumption.

🌊 Depthflow Motion Arc Usage Tips:

• To create a smooth and natural arc motion, carefully adjust the start, middle, and end parameters to define the desired path. Experiment with different values to achieve the perfect curve for your animation.
• Use the reverse option to easily create reverse motion effects without manually adjusting the motion path. This can be particularly useful for creating looping animations or reversing a sequence.

🌊 Depthflow Motion Arc Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid target parameter

• Explanation: The specified target parameter is not recognized or is incorrectly defined.
• Solution: Ensure that the target parameter is set to a valid option from the TARGETS list. Double-check the spelling and case sensitivity.

Out of range value

• Explanation: One of the start, middle, or end parameters is set outside the allowed range of -9999.0 to 9999.0.
• Solution: Adjust the parameter value to fall within the specified range. Use the step size of 0.01 for precise adjustments.

Motion not applied

• Explanation: The motion effect is not visible or not applied to the target parameter.
• Solution: Verify that the cumulative and reverse options are set correctly. Ensure that the node is properly connected in your workflow and that the target parameter is active and modifiable.
