Maya Noise Controller for Animation?

neokyubi · 24-04-2009, 08:36 AM

Hi guys,
as always I'm in need of advice

i want to animate some object flying along a path. (already achieved this)
how can i add random noise to that object, so it doestn fly that path smoothly.
in 3Ds max there is a noise controller, how about in maya?
thanks in advance

Hi, i'm not an expert in maya but i think you can use some expression for the noise in a new attribute (using the current time as variable) and with a plusminusAverage node add it to your position/rotation/what ever.

Cheers
