Y=f(x) vs parametric equations

[hakandurgut]

I would like to understand how we convert this y=f(x) type function to tx ty tz

I would like to recreate this animation in touchdesigner

Hi there,

in this case since it’s a 1 dimensional function, you can use ty as your f(x), and tx just a linear ‘ramp’…tz in this case would be a constant. So something like:
tx = patternCHOP from -2.5 to 2.5
ty = f(tx)
tz = 0

So for every tx you put that value inside the equation to get the ty.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
tim

Here is a (chaotic) network to calculate ty.
