ComfyUI Node: KfSinusoidalAdjustPhase

KfSinusoidalAdjustPhase:

The KfSinusoidalAdjustPhase node is designed to modify the phase of a given sinusoidal curve. This adjustment allows you to shift the curve horizontally, effectively changing the starting point of the wave cycle. By altering the phase, you can control the timing and alignment of the sinusoidal wave, which is particularly useful in animations and procedural content generation where precise control over waveforms is required. This node is essential for fine-tuning the behavior of sinusoidal curves to achieve the desired visual or functional effects in your projects.

KfSinusoidalAdjustPhase Input Parameters:

curve

The curve parameter expects a sinusoidal curve input (SINUSOIDAL_CURVE). This is the curve that will be adjusted. The input must be a valid sinusoidal curve object, which contains properties such as wavelength, phase, and amplitude. This parameter is required and must be provided for the node to function.

adjustment

The adjustment parameter is a float value that specifies the amount by which the phase of the curve should be adjusted. The default value is 0.0, and the step size is approximately 0.1308996939 (which is π/24). This parameter allows you to incrementally shift the phase of the curve, providing fine control over the horizontal displacement of the wave. Adjusting this value will directly impact the starting point of the sinusoidal cycle.

KfSinusoidalAdjustPhase Output Parameters:

KEYFRAMED_CURVE

The KEYFRAMED_CURVE output is the modified sinusoidal curve with the adjusted phase. This output can be used in subsequent nodes or processes that require a keyframed curve input. It retains all the properties of the original curve but with the phase shifted according to the specified adjustment.

SINUSOIDAL_CURVE

The SINUSOIDAL_CURVE output is the same as the KEYFRAMED_CURVE output, providing the adjusted sinusoidal curve. This output ensures compatibility with nodes or processes that specifically require a sinusoidal curve input. It allows for seamless integration into workflows that manipulate sinusoidal waveforms.

KfSinusoidalAdjustPhase Usage Tips:

• To achieve a smooth transition in animations, use small increments for the adjustment parameter to gradually shift the phase.
• Combine this node with other sinusoidal adjustment nodes to create complex waveforms and dynamic effects.
• Use the KEYFRAMED_CURVE output for keyframing purposes in animation timelines, ensuring precise control over the wave's behavior.

KfSinusoidalAdjustPhase Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid curve input

• Explanation: The curve parameter must be a valid sinusoidal curve object.
• Solution: Ensure that the input provided to the curve parameter is a properly defined sinusoidal curve.

Adjustment value out of range

• Explanation: The adjustment parameter should be a float value within a reasonable range to avoid unexpected behavior.
• Solution: Verify that the adjustment value is within a logical range and adjust it incrementally to achieve the desired phase shift.
