Object Noise

Anonymous — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 21:20:18 GMT

Hi All!

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way of adding procedural noise to an existing animation curve. I don't want to create a complex rig with many different nested parentings. I'd just like to animate the object with some adjustable noise on it. 3DSMax's equivalent would be adding a list controller to the transform. Is it possible to do something like that in Maya?

Hi @Anonymous

You could try a plug-in like this.

Or if you want to do it more manually you could just head into the 'Graph Editor', select the curve you want to add noise to, hold down the 'I' key and then middle mouse click a ton until you get the look you're going for.
