  wiggle expression up and down only

  Posted by Anita Sancha on June 29, 2009 at 3:52 pm

  Hi.

  I have about 40 vegetables doing a samba conga. Each vegetable will behave differently and so its a lot of work setting keyframes for them jogging along… for my new animation about feeding the world… lol

  So how do I only get the wiggle expression to only go up and down. not just wiggle all over the place. I have tried using the slider but I think I must be doing something wrong. Also I want to use the audio amplitude, but this still goes left right and up and down.

  Cheers in advance..

  with 40 vegetables it would be fun to use this as a great learning exercise in expressions so random and other useful expressions will be gladly tried out. !

  Thanks for all your help

  mr. ebberts’s motionscript.com has an expression (and explanation) for one dimensional wiggle:

  Thanks

  Getting to grips with this.. that site is really good.

  Because it gave info on what each of the blocks of code was there for, I learned a lot and could copy and paste and then strip them apart and change numbers to get the effect I wanted.

  Great Thanks.
