  per character ‘random’ animation (AE CS6)

  Posted by Dawud Ali on April 6, 2016 at 6:01 pm

  Hello,

  I’m wondering if Ae has something similar to random effectors of cinema4D or a way to achieve it, so to add slight individual (text) per-character rotations and position in XYZ. I’m aware of enabling per character 3D and using the animator/ range selector but this produces a uniformed results. Perhaps guys have scripts or written expression which enable this?

  Ideally a procedural method would be best where the text can be changed/updated as apposed to manually breaking the letters up and adding rotation.

  Thanks In advance,
  Dawud

  Under the Add pullout under selector, you need to add a “wiggly” selector and play with those settings, depending on exactly what you are trying to achieve. You could make it procedural by taking the rotation/wiggly and making them an animation preset.

  Here’s a little sample project. 9954_percharacterrotation.aep.zip
