  • using expression to create swining movement

    lets say.. ur object is in 3d space.. anchor pt at the top and u swing a layer at the anchor pt.

    and im swing the object (only 180 degree) back and forth.

    any expressions i can use instead of key framing? I like the swings to be kinda random.

    Hi Bryan,

    some more info please:

    random in timing ?
    random in direction ?
    random in amount of swing ?

    how does this look:

    wiggle(1,180);

    random in timing ?
    random in direction ?
    random in amount of swing ?

    So basically this is the idea.

    the layer swings (if u’re looking at it head on) swings back 90 degree and swings forward, 90degree.

    all this done in 2 second.. i’d like the swing to be random.. ie.. how many degree it swings back and how many degree it swings forward.

    the amount of swing shouldn’t be super rapid.. but as if it swings in the wind.
