Not all dots move with the same speed. Or is it just me? It seems to me like the dot inside the octagon for example moves faster.
psein
I think their speeds are different too.
TacticalPuke
Definitely. Watch the part when all of them are at the bottom.
TacticalPuke
1- Of course, or else they would move along nicely when they're at the bottom. OP had a reason to pick different speeds tho: they'd need to
TacticalPuke
2- keep moving till every dot made an exact multiple of a round-trip. That would have to be a multiple of 15, 13, 11, and 7, among others.
TacticalPuke
3- Since 7, 11, and 13 are primes, their product 1001 is the least common multiple. To be a multiple of 8, 9 and 15, it would have to be a
TacticalPuke
4- multiple of 360, too. That means 1 gif loop = 360360 edges traveled or 120120 triangle round-trips. TL;DR: huge gif is huge.
yvvymo
The middle dots travel more than twice as fast as the outmost dot. Only pairs of dots turn corners at the same time: 3&14, 4&13, 5&12 etc.
allhayl
I can't tell for sure, but all the dots are moving at the same velocity, right? (I know it looks like the inner ones are faster, 1/2
allhayl
but I thinks that's an optical illusion). 2/2
GrantLeavitt
All the sides are the same length, whether triangle or the 15-sider. So the dots are moving at different speeds.
allhayl
Actually I think yore right. I just "timed" it by tapping my finger each time they turned and the cadence was quicker with the inside ones.

Seems it would be better if the dots were traveling the same speed. They not - best seen when a line of them travels the bottom parallels.
yvvymo
At same speed it would take 360360 rounds for all dots to realign. We would have to watch for 29.2 days to see this happen...
Scowly86
I'll take your word on the numbers. If they're not going the same speed anyway, why not make all the loops round? Pick one thing to vary.
yvvymo
Good point! Round loops would give a similar impression. But it would be too easy to realize they don't move at the same speed.
allhayl
I could be wrong, but i think they are. I think the difference in velocity is an optical illusion. I could be wrong though.
TheAdamantite
Watch the outermost and second, they're really off

Can someone explain why the shapes are closer together at the top?
MrFnortner
The shapes may appear closer at the top because of the pointy-ness. For every point near a line there is another point far from a line. 1/2
MrFnortner
2/2 In reality, the nearness balances the "farness" and the average distance is the same for all figures. If the figures were circles, 3/2
MrFnortner
3/2 they would be concentric and equidistant.
villlllle
Because the center point of each object is at the origo.
spaceystacey
Think of a prism as the basis and the light it refracted shows us a rainbow. That rainbow has different colors that overlap. 1/2
spaceystacey
That's the best way I can think of to explain it. I'm no scientist, but I think I'm right. 2/2
njweiland23
It be that way sometimes
Spfiredrake
Center of each shape the same. Keeping one side the same. Each next shape has one more side, meaning a corner is added.
PianoMan2112
Maybe so the bottoms line up, but that still doesn’t explain the triangle being higher than the rest.
zagibu
Yeah, the sides of all figures are the same length, or the rythm of the dots wouldn't work. The v-offset is just to make it look pretty.
TacoPrime
I didn't see the triangle until you said something. Now I can't not see it!

ImOnlyHereForTheCheese
The black dots are moving the same distance before turning each corner. Every line is the same length.
yvvymo
If true, the dots would turn the corner simultaneously. They do not.
ImOnlyHereForTheCheese
They literally do. Look again. The outer dots take longer to go round because they have more corners to go before they get back 'home'.
Scowly86
They do travel the same distance, they are not going the same speed. You can see it at the bottom when they all travel together.
perey
Correct. From the original artist (it seems): https://twitter.com/beesandbombs/status/870219153776549888
yvvymo
Wrong. They neither travel the same distance nor the same speed. They synchronize their frequency. That's all. See title. Still cute.
yvvymo
You better look again. Only pairs turn simultaneously. Count the corners of each ring. Count the rounds until they realign. Do the math.

AlexHamil
why not... it's a CAD program perfectly capable of drawing shapes to demonstrate geometric drawings
Cuzinsam
Weird. Would expect all corners to protrude from square perimeter.
TemporaryUzername
why would you expect that?
Iammoney45
That doesn't make sense because the point is that they all share a center point and have the same side length for each side
sulfuratus
How though, if they all have a side length of one unit?
Cuzinsam
Or instead I would expect all triangle corners to be within square perimeter
DosterIII
Could you explain it?
Nebbo
Standard equilateral triangle.
WhyDoTheyAlwaysSendThePoorWhyDontPresidentsFightTheWar
For this every side of every shape has to be one unit long and because of the way triangles work, one corner has to go above the square.
denacecanem
If all corners of the triangle were in the square, the two circles would be offset and throw off the pattern. That’s my best guess.
UltimaCaitSith
Simple Explanation: The center of the triangle is at the center of the square.
ShinyMatador
Huh. neat.
boobs675309
The circle that fills the triangle and the circle that fills the square both have the same mid-point
perey
All of the shapes have the same side length. If the triangle's base sat on the square's base, it wouldn't poke out of the square. (1/3)
perey
But because there's a gap between the base of each shape (and especially because of the size chosen for the gap), the triangle sticks (2/3)
perey
out of the top of the square, just a little. It just so happens that none of the others stick out of their enclosing shape. (3/3)
Petedoit
Close. They didn't choose a gap size. It's the gap inherent in them all sharing a center point, and having the same side length... Carry on.
perey
Huh. Quite right. Not sure how I missed that; circles in the diagram and all...

Do YOU have time to talk about Fusion 360? I want to use it for mechanical modeling, but my world is Adobe. I don't know where to start!

And what I most value about is the easy way to go way back on design and change it. From distant memory, it wasn't so easy in SW.
peenisbutterjellytime
Just give it a try. You can use it free at least a year as hobbyist/enthusiast. Very versatile and easy to use. Great tips and tutorials.
TemporaryUzername
just download and give it a go. envision your object looking at it from one face (2D sketch), then expand it into the 3D space (extrude).

onshape is terrible. i dunno who trains their sales reps, but they are the worst at trying to sell a product. F360 is always getting better

As a sysadmin, anything is better than Solidworks.
