Q:  1.10.23  9:24 am what kind of things do you use trigonometry for
A: it comes up a lot when trying to figure out things for 3D animation. the folding doors in the juggling video definitely required some trigonomic functions to work correctly, and believe me i tried to find an easier way first, but that was the only way. Actually it's still not even good enough really, because it looks like the doors are springloaded somehow because they are all unfolding at the same time. the real effect i wanted was for them to each unfold sort of 1 at a time as they begin to be dragged by the previous one. but that would have required some calculus which was over my head in the moment and i didn't think it would be wise to spend days working it out
