ComfyUI Node: 🌊 Depthflow Motion Sine

🌊 Depthflow Motion Sine:

The DepthflowMotionSine node is designed to apply a sine wave motion to a specified target parameter, offering a dynamic and rhythmic modulation that can enhance the visual appeal of your animations. This node is particularly useful for creating smooth, oscillating movements that mimic natural wave patterns, making it ideal for artistic projects that require fluid and continuous motion. By leveraging the mathematical properties of sine waves, this node allows you to control the amplitude, frequency, and phase of the motion, providing a high degree of customization to suit your creative needs. Whether you're looking to add subtle undulations or dramatic oscillations, the DepthflowMotionSine node provides the tools to achieve your desired effect with precision and ease.

🌊 Depthflow Motion Sine Input Parameters:

target

The target parameter specifies the parameter to which the sine wave motion will be applied. It determines the aspect of your project that will be influenced by the sine wave, allowing you to direct the motion effect precisely where it's needed. The default value is the first option in the TARGETS list.

amplitude

The amplitude parameter controls the height of the sine wave, affecting the intensity of the motion applied to the target. A higher amplitude results in more pronounced oscillations, while a lower amplitude produces subtler movements. The value ranges from -10.0 to 10.0, with a default of 1.0, allowing for both positive and negative motion effects.

cycles

The cycles parameter defines the number of complete sine wave cycles that occur over the duration of the motion. This parameter influences the frequency of the oscillations, with more cycles leading to faster oscillations. The value ranges from 0.0 to 10.0, with a default of 1.0, enabling you to adjust the speed of the motion.

phase

The phase parameter introduces a phase shift to the sine wave, altering the starting point of the oscillation. This can be used to synchronize or offset the motion relative to other elements in your project. The value ranges from -10.0 to 10.0, with a default of 0.0, providing flexibility in timing adjustments.

reverse

The reverse parameter is a boolean option that, when enabled, reverses the direction of time for the sine wave motion. This can create interesting effects by inverting the natural progression of the wave, offering a unique twist to the motion dynamics. The default value is False.

bias

The bias parameter adds a constant offset to the sine wave motion, shifting the entire wave up or down. This can be useful for adjusting the baseline of the motion without altering its amplitude or frequency. The value ranges from -10.0 to 10.0, with a default of 0.0, allowing for fine-tuning of the motion's position.

cumulative

The cumulative parameter is a boolean option that, when enabled, adds the sine wave motion to the previous frame's value, creating a cumulative effect over time. This can enhance the fluidity and continuity of the motion, making it appear more natural and integrated. The default value is False.

🌊 Depthflow Motion Sine Output Parameters:

The context does not provide specific output parameters for the DepthflowMotionSine node. Typically, such nodes would output the modified target parameter with the applied sine wave motion, but without explicit information, we cannot detail the exact outputs.

🌊 Depthflow Motion Sine Usage Tips:

• Experiment with the amplitude and cycles parameters to achieve the desired intensity and speed of motion, balancing them to match the rhythm of your project.
• Use the phase parameter to synchronize the sine wave motion with other elements in your animation, ensuring a cohesive and harmonious visual flow.
• Consider enabling the cumulative option for projects that benefit from a more fluid and continuous motion, as it can enhance the natural feel of the oscillations.

🌊 Depthflow Motion Sine Common Errors and Solutions:

Error: Invalid target parameter

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified target parameter is not recognized or supported by the node.
• Solution: Ensure that the target parameter is correctly specified and is part of the available TARGETS list.

Error: Amplitude out of range

• Explanation: This error indicates that the amplitude value is outside the acceptable range of -10.0 to 10.0.
• Solution: Adjust the amplitude value to fall within the specified range to avoid this error.

Error: Cycles value too high

• Explanation: This error arises when the cycles parameter exceeds the maximum allowed value of 10.0.
• Solution: Reduce the cycles value to 10.0 or below to resolve this issue.
