  how do i wiggle axes separately?

  Posted by Follower on February 12, 2007 at 9:33 am

  hello creative cow members,

  this is my first post and i hope you can help me 🙂

  i have a composition of a butterfly that should fly away from the camera.

  while i set position-keyframes manually for the z-axis (from near to distant), the butterfly should wiggle around its x- and y-axis.

  the reason why i don’t want to have the butterfly wiggle around the z-axis, is that i don’t want it to like it is flying back and forth.

  i searched the internet and found something like:

  x=wiggle(2,50);
  y=wiggle(2,50);
  z=value[2];
  [x,y,z];

  but it doesn’t work 🙁

  thanks in advance,

  robert from germany

  More like this:

  x=wiggle(2,50)[0];
  y=wiggle(2,50)[1];
  z=value[2];
  [x,y,z];
