  • Can you Create a bouyant 3d Camera

    Hi all. Thank you very much for the support i had from my previous query. It helped very much. I have another query. I have a 3d environment, which has a camera flying through percomped animations. But i am having trouble creating enough bouyance when my camera turns left and right on the Z Rotation. I want the camera to sway left and right, but compensate by swaying back the other way. At the moment the movement is very ridgid. Other than creating vigorous keyframe animations, is there a way i can do this using expressions? Or any other alternative?

    Thanks again for your time once again.

    No, not really. Hand-keyframe it and be done. Sorry, but anything one could do with expressions is probably way too complicated and may still not look right for your needs. If you really insist on some automation, search the COW for “wiggle”. Be warned, though, it will look more like a tremor, not the soft shake you get e.g. with a dampened camera crane.

    I believe the Atomic Psunami plugin can do that….

    Thanks very much. I eventually found wiggle, and with a bit of magc and key framing, ive got something close.

    Much appreciated.

    Thank you
