AE Expression, hovering a balloon.

[Kevin Camp]

using a combinations of the these two expressions, looping wiggle() and wiggle one dimension only, from dan ebbert’s motionscript.com, i came up with this:

freq = .5;
amp = 100;
loopTime = 10;
t = time % loopTime;
wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t);
wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t – loopTime);
w = linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2);
[(value[0]+(w[0]*.2)), w[1]]

i kept just a little x movement, it made it seem more natural. but if you wanted only y movement, change the last line to this:

[(value[0], w[1]]

modify the values for freq, amp and looptime to suit…

Kevin, I have a ballon (solid) and a line… do I need to first apply wiggle-position then enter the expression above?

oh nevermind I pasted the expression on position and it looks great! thanks!!!!
