    [lowpolymodel] “wiggle (5,10)”

    If you’re typing a space between ‘wiggle’ and ‘(5,10)’ you shouldn’t be:

    wiggle(5,10);

    If you’re going to a 70mm print then you’re dealing with a very large amount of data. I have no experience working with such a large format, but I would guess that you wouldn’t want to work with less than a 4K resolution (4096 x 3112)… 2K should work for 35mm.

    the wiggle expression is what i always use when doing this effect. i usually set my wiggle amount for more than that, though. i think i usually set it at around 30 or 40, and then make the initial value 30 or 40 less than the max i want. (obviously you want those 2 values to be the same.)

    also, i don’t think that the space really matters. (at least it doesn’t in my AE.)

    i’m wondering if your rate is high enough and your value is low enough that you’re not really seeing the effect.

    just a thought.
