plane disappears while lerping rotation

[JCPalmer]

Does anyone have a theory as to why when this plane is rotating using lerp that it disappears for a while, then starts rendering again?  Back face culling is turned off.  You can tell that is still moving, cause the camera is tracking, but it is black.

 

EDIT: link removed

 

Not sure I am going to get a response.  Hopefully, now that it is up on the web, I can go over to my Mac & have it working.  Ubuntu Firefox which just got updated yesterday, still does not show shadows.

 

Here is a slightly edited console log, where each lerp is a line:

Initially your tartan tablet cloth is being lit by a directional light (it's normals would seem to all be facing "upwards"), the lighting darkens the object as it rotates away from the light.

[JCPalmer]

duh.  Thanks that sounds very reasonable.  It is a great Saturday, so probably will not add extra lighting today.  Winter is soon in upstate NY.

 

When I do, will republish with a version with a "better ride", not one designed to illustrate a problem.  Will also mark solved + add another message to bring to the top.  This might be far easier than I thought it was going to be.

 

I do have a problem with dynamic normal calculation, but have that turned off.  I thought normals were put through a transformation matrix thing in the vertex shader, so it was only neccessary to ship up new normals when the vertices had been deformed.  Of course, I got both going on at the same time.  Gonna find out by simply adding lighting first.

Great job btw

[JCPalmer]

Thanks.  It just got a little better today too.  I have added an optional argument to AutomatonEventSeries constructor called _initialWallclockProating.  This is to allow for smooth acceleration or deceleration with an event series with a repeat count > 1.  The rotation or distance traveled is un-changed, only how long it takes to perform the tasks.  The final run, repeat, of the series occurs in the _milliduration specified in the Deformation.  If the value of this var is > 1, then the initial repeats take longer, thus acceleration.  var < 1  results in deceleration.

 

Have not edited the.blend file with lights yet, since I was doing this on a laptop without a mouse or numeric keypad, while watching the game.  Blender is tough to do without those.

 

After that fix, the last big thing standing in the way of release is the normal calculations.  The multi shape key group .blend that Gryff did for me works great either as independent groups, "Walking & chewing gum at the same time", or as coordinated deformations across groups.  Looks like crap, though.  Suspect normals.  My normal calcs are in-effective.  As it is the last thing, I can no longer put it off.

Marked solved.  Has been for a while, but was not ready to republish.  See link in Automaton release thread soon.
