  • how do i wiggle axes separately?

    Posted by Follower on February 12, 2007 at 9:33 am

    hello creative cow members,

    this is my first post and i hope you can help me 🙂

    i have a composition of a butterfly that should fly away from the camera.

    while i set position-keyframes manually for the z-axis (from near to distant), the butterfly should wiggle around its x- and y-axis.

    the reason why i don’t want to have the butterfly wiggle around the z-axis, is that i don’t want it to like it is flying back and forth.

    i searched the internet and found something like:

    x=wiggle(2,50);
    y=wiggle(2,50);
    z=value[2];
    [x,y,z];

    but it doesn’t work 🙁

    thanks in advance,

    robert from germany

    More like this:

    x=wiggle(2,50)[0];
    y=wiggle(2,50)[1];
    z=value[2];
    [x,y,z];
