Levels in Liquid? | Forum

Quote from kai If you were to think of Liquid in terms that the LPC video laid out, this would be a difficult and argumentive challenge to do. If you were to think of it in new terms (lines, planes, 3d objects and a seperation and connection of the body and space) it would become much simpler because each concept can be broken down into smaller physical and spatial mechanics and then you have a true understanding how many peices each concept takes to "build" which would naturally imply their complexity and hence, difficulty level.  Take the Figure 8 for instance. it's a curved line in space that connects back to itself. Pretty simple right? Easy to understand for beginners, as you say. But then you add plane dimensionality to it, you get a split, which is more difficult for people to comprehend. It becomes basic math at this point. Figure 8's are simpler because they have less dimension than a split and hence are easier to learn.  Of course this is assuming a redefinition of old and busted terminology that most people seem to want to hang on to for dear life because it's what they know rather than change and have more possibilities opened at the risk have (gasp) having to learn something new.

Quote from kai physics can be applied to any motion so, while i think certain types of physics (awareness and manipulation of gravity, bounce, atmospheres) can add complexity to a motion or concept, i dont think it effects the level of difficulty or complexity of the motion that its applied to.
