After Effects -> Project butterfly, Playing around with math.sin() function

I learnt using sin (mathematics) expressions in after effects a while ago. I think of sharing it here since i find it pretty cool.These are mainly used to flip the wings. They are used in the butterfly animated below, i think the animation looks pretty smooth.

The expression i used to rotate the wings was :-
I am just trying to show the use of this expression as used to loop abutterfly.

The result:-

Actually, this mathematical sin() function has a period of 2 angle with maxima of 1 at /2 and 3/2. It's symmetric across the x-axis across equal and different parts in its cycle.This function is pretty well suited to representbutterfly wing wiggle.

Maybe this information is helpful to someone of you.

Thanks for reading.

Wow looks great. I think the animations of the wings turned out smooth and clean.

thanks!
Its smooth because its a perfectly periodic function timed with same start and end point.

Finally some use of sin func. somewhere :D
Awesome work dude!
