Static random numbers
Hello!
I’m currently setting up a project where I want to give the the objects just a random wiggle on the position and rotation. It’s stop motion so I’m posterizing the time on the wiggle to get a nice effect. However I want the values to shift just a tiny bit.Currently what I’m using is this
posterizeTime(1.3)
wiggle(2,5)But what I’d like to do is this
x = random number between .8 - 1.5 that is static and gives me a new one everytime i copy/paste to a new layer
y = random number between .5 - 2 that is static and gives me a new one everytime i copy/paste to a new layer
z = random number between 2 - 5 that is static and gives me a new one everytime i copy/paste to a new layerposterizeTime(x)
wiggle(y,z)So I really just want to simplify my workflow with not having to go in to each expression and change the values just a tiny bit to get a nice variation in the animation.
Thanks!

Try this:
seedRandom(index, false);
x = random(0.8,1.5);
y = random(0.5,2);
z = random(2,5);
posterizeTime(x);
wiggle(y,z);

I’m sorry. You should pass true as an argument to seedRandom. So this should work:
seedRandom(index, true);
x = random(0.8,1.5);
y = random(0.5,2);
z = random(2,5);
posterizeTime(x);
wiggle(y,z);
