Quickly Animating Complex Neon Signs (Patreon)
Content
MOOOORE neon, seriously Ian? YES! So I have a bazillion other things I should wrap up (robot arms and merchants and HyperBoles), but I wanted to see if this would work and it did, so I made a video because I'm jazzed.
Here's the flicker controller image, although it'd also be super easy to come up with your own on your end with custom animations, if you wanted. I can imagine, say, a flourescent light that flickers and turns off or- OH! If you animated a DIFFERENT axis, too, you could have it scrolling through every possible loop over time. But that's making things unnecessarily complex. But it's also a very easy way to add a TON of complexity to a TON of things at once. City lights turning off and on on a huge scale? Stars twinkling?
Now I have to go back and re-animate the Psychic Diner (I think I had one letter randomly flickering or something?)
