NOISE CONSTRAINT

Since there’s no analogue built in to Blender at the present, during our last animation project, I knocked together a very simple PyConstraint: Noise. It’s made to fulfill similar tasks as the Noise controller in 3DS Max, giving random (yet deterministic) animation to an object. We used it for things like like applying it to a lamp for randomised shadow flicker from a candle flame, or on a large scale, subtle swaying movements of a ship on the ocean.

There’s a thread with instructions on blenderartists.org, and the goodies themselves here:

Thanks folks!

Owen: It’s mentioned down the bottom of the reel page :) The music is by ‘comfort fit’ - http://www.comfortfit.de/

Thanks Matt, I was looking for a simple-yet-useful example of pyConstraints!

btw, after watching promotion’s reel I have a question: how much of promotion’s pipeline is using exclusively Blender right now? How much of the reel was done in Blender?

Last but not least: You guys at promotion are very talented people!
