DaVinci Resolve Fusion: 3D Lissajous Demo

[@denisdodo]

cool stuff Simon, thnx. I highly appreciate your acts to motion graphics tutorials industry especially in fusion

[@AbrEvig]

Beautiful!

[@MirkoCastellani]

exceptional, extraordinary, fascinating super!

[@JeremiahBostwick]

Wooooow. You just pulled a fast one on us Simon! You have stopped making content on one program only to start on another. I’m glad you’re back. And Resolve is an excellent NLE and post program to educate people on!

You’re the best you’re helping me a lot

[@juliandarley]

wonderful. thank you. any chance of a tutorial on this (in Fusion)? [update: i have just seen that there are two recent tutorials on Lissajous Figures & Curves]

[@geoffstockton]

Is that shape the wave form for a perfectly tuned major triad?

[@SimonUbsdell]

It's a good question, and as a musician I should know ... but I don't.

[@timbeaton5045]

Well it appears to be the result of two circular functions, with differing frequency and possibly phase, too. So not actually a triad, but a two note chord, if you like. Possibly a 5 to 4 ratio, from the nodes? If so, then it's a major 3rd. But not in a well tempered scale, it looks exact as a ratio.

[@SimonUbsdell]

Yes, the ratio here is indeed 5:4 and the Lissajous pattern is being driven by two circular rotations at right angles (see my tutorial on this) but they are not "out of phase", they simply have different speeds but the same start point.

[@timbeaton5045]

@@SimonUbsdell Yes, wasn't sure about the phase, but of course there is a pi/2 radians phase difference between the sin and cos functions! But the 5/4 ratio is a major third interval, which relates to the original question!! And indeed, if you added a control to the system to vary the phase of one of the circular paths, that would produce a rather more complicated Lissajous figure?

PS have you watched any of 3Blue1Brown's incredible graphic realisations of mathematical topics? This would be right up your street, i would imagine!
