  • Staggeringly simple wiggle question

    Sorry about this – it’s such an obvious thing that my searches are throwing up too many results…

    How can I wiggle individual X,Y,Z values of a layer without separating them out? I know it’ll be simple, so thanks for your help!

    This example just wiggles y:

    w = wiggle(1,100)-value;
    [value[0],w[1],value[2]]

    Is that what you mean?

    Yes that’s it…but when I use that expression it seems to lock the position to it’s wiggle, if you see what I mean?

    Normally you can wiggle an object and still have it go about its business on a path…but the above method seems to not let you move the object at all, beyond its wiggle?

    You’re right – sorry. Try it this way:

    w = wiggle(1,200);
    [value[0],w[1],value[2]]
