Hi All,
I am very new to Watch Face Studio and am trying to design a watch face with reverse opacity using the gyro action. For example, I can make items fade out with the gyro action but is there a way I can make items fade in onto the screen with the gyro? I would like to make an image go from 0 opacity to 100 with a 45 degree tilt?
Many Thanks.
Welcome @mohosin.miah . Sorry any response was delayed . I was working on another Platform and the others are very busy with other stuff . I like playing with the Gyro in WFS it is very smooth and we have a joystick simulator .
For starters I always make a text box with the Formula in it to see what goes on .
You will see that the gyro gives an angle 0 to 90 . So multiply the data By two and it will do the job for you .
Obviously if you want to be totally accurate we have to do a bit of work on the Factor .
If you want the Negative tilt to work we will need to get abs involved .
Have a look a this and see .
Obviously this is for the opacity of an Image
.
(([ACC_A_Y])*2)
This will give you exactly 100% at 45deg tilt up or down .
.
(abs(([ACC_A_Y])*(100/45)))
Hey Russell, how can you get it to to fade in from say 20 degrees to full opacity at 45 degrees? Like transparent from 0 degrees to 20 then revealing itself after that.
It might be best to use something like clamp . I will have yo make a test I can not do the maths without testing it .
Because I started my Face making journey on Faver I tend to use Tags to get things working . There are lots of presets for the Gyro but I just get completely lost there . I see you have asked elsewhere . It will be interesting to see a solution based on them .
You can always have a play and see what Happens . Samsung are keen for us to use the Presets and not tags but I just get lost too quick .
Pop this into the opacity Layer of your image .
((((clamp([ACC_A_Y],20,45))-20)/25)*100)
I have used the descriptive method for the formula .
It takes the gyro Y axis reading and clamps it to give a number between 20 and 45 .
20 is subtracted to make the result of that start at Zero .
If we divide the results by the difference we get a number 0 to 1
Then we multiply that by our maximum giving us 0 to 100 .
wow this seems much more elegant than my method, i figured out this formula
((\[ACC_A_Y\]>30) + (\[ACC_A_Y\]<-30))?((-30*6) + (abs((\[ACC_A_Y\])*(7)))):0
Edit: Upon testing your formula i had to modify it to work when the watch tilts both ways by adding an abs function (which you taught me!) to the accelerometer value
((((clamp((abs(\[ACC_A_Y\])),20,45))-20)/25)\*100)
This formula allows me to tilt the watch and a larger version of my digital time display appears on screen so its as if the digital watch “zooms in” and enlarges when you tilt it toward or away from you
Brilliant well done . I wondered about abs
But I wanted to keep it simple . I find it difgicult to remember or assess others skills levels so It is easyer for me keep it simple .
I will archive your Formula . Thank you .
