Day 1 - Simple Animation

For today, I've gone through the tutorial for module 01.
The first part of the tutorial, I've learned how to do some simple animation.

Simple Animation
Firstly, I created a sphere and a box. To ensure that the sphere remains above the axis, I followed the tutorial, copied the Y axis radius and pasted it on the Y axis of the center.



After that, I created a merge node to merge both box and sphere.
Then, I went to the box and copied the size and pasted it on the center. This is to ensure that the box will remain above the axis too.




However, the box seems to be higher than the grid axis, so I added a divide 2 which will turn out to become ch("sizey")/2

Next, I used the shortcut key taught inside the tutorial which is alt + e to expand the expression editor.
In order for the box to stay above the sphere, I typed in the expression accordingly.


I added a multiple 2 to make the box stay above the sphere.


Testing out whether does the box stay above the sphere.


So after that, I started to animate the sphere sizes, from small to big.



I added an expression "sin($F*6)" at the box sizes to make the box expand nicely. 



So I completed this part of the tutorial for simple animation.
