Equation of 🐛🐛🐛 "Life" ~ Biomathic Symphony The art was inspired by a little millipede I encountered few days ago. Its tiny legs were moving in such an elegant way , it was so satisfying to look at. Since then I decided to recreate it with mathematical formulas. The equation displayed in the video , represents the movement of a single leg. Zroot is where the leg connects to the body, Zjoint is the point where the leg bends and Ztip is the free point of the leg which may touch the surface. Change the value of L from 1 to n for n number of legs. For example , L = 12 gives you the position of 12th leg on complex plane and changing the value of "t" will animate it. This equation gives you a straight walking millipede. However for this animation I drew a curved path on my iPad , exported svg file, extracted x and y coordinates of the path. Moving the centipede on this path is like attaching the legs to the path itself and sliding the whole structure on the curve. The skeleton was made with python , matplotlib and bioluminouscent effect was applied on Adobe After Effects. #biology #mathematics #programming #satisfying #geometry #animation #deepsea #arthropod #insect #cellular #life #bioluminescence #coding #trigonometry
