Hi Kouraib,

I’ve recorded a quick video showing what worked for me, and there’s a small catch.

Turns out the point cache method only works if the source spline is set to Linear with Adaptive Interpolation.

I hadn’t noticed this before because I just happened to be using that spline type anyway.

If you need a different spline type, you can always change it afterwards with a MoSpline object. I’ve shown that in the video as well. 🙂

Hi Kouraib Abdmalek,

I shared that method because I ran into the same issue yesterday, and it sorted it for me.

It does work for baking splines, but the video misses a step. After you calculate the Point Cache, you still need to bake the cached spline using Functions > Bake Objects in the timeline panel.

That way, the spline points get baked as PLA keyframes, which is handy if you need proper keyframe animation (like using it with a Step Effector’s Time Offset).

I’ve attached a project so you can see what I mean.

Sorry, should’ve explained that bit better!

Baking works well by using a Point Cache tag.

Uhm.. I never really explored the possibilities of the time parameter in the wiggle, but it seems to be a good approach to the problem.
I’ll definitely look into it.

Thanks Dan!
