Looping a Wiggle in After Effects @ShiveringCactus

Uploaded January 2024 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

You want to combine two expressions, loopOut and Wiggle. That way you can automate your animations but still get a more natural or random result.
I've got three different methods for you to try out. The first method uses a slider to manage the loopOut which is then added to a wiggle expression on the position (or any property). Then I show you Dan Ebberts' option for this which does not need a slider. Finally, I dig out a completely different take which allows you to repeat a wiggle precisely while looping.

$Procedural Asteroid Field in Blender Welcome to my series on learning Blender for @AdobeVideo After Effects users. Im learning Blender, the open-source 3D modelling and animation tool. Im very comfortable in AE. About a year ago, I created an asteroid field using CC Particle World and wanted a 3D rock for the foreground. I got something acceptable using Cinema4D Lite, but it was a frustrating experience, so Ive been working towards replacing it with Blender. In this video, Ill take you through a procedural technique for creating lots of rocks. The concept isnt mine, it came from @AugustRenders - they made a 60 second tutorial, which works great if you know Blender, but its a little hectic if youre still learning the difference between Edit and Object modes. Well take a cube, add an array modifier to it, then convert that into separate models. Well then use the subdivide tool to create organic, fractal shapes. Once were happy, well then use Particles and the Hair options to distribute the rocks throughout a volume of a cube. #AfterEffects #Blender #tutorial *Get ShiveringCactus VFX as phone cases, T-shirts, mugs: https://www.redbubble.com/people/ShiveringCactus/shop* *Or buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/shiveringcactus* *Websites mentioned:* Chris Kuhns Blender models found on: https://blendswap.com/ *Chapters* 0:00 What were makin 1:13 Using Photoshop to make a seemless texture 1:58 Adding a texture in Blender 3:17 Using an Array modifier 5:29 Creating the asteroid field Im an Adobe Community Expert - which means you can find me on the Adobe forums if you need any help. https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/ct-p/ct-after-effects?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all #AdobeCommunityExperts$
