Thank you ! very much!

One question: if my object rotation and or position is linked to other object...how should i put this to work together ?

the object rotation is linked like this : thisComp.layer("Red Solid 2").transform.rotation

what changes should i put to your code ? =) thank you

// Inertial Bounce (moves settle into place after bouncing around a little)
n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time){
n--;
}
}
if (n == 0){
t = 0;
}else{
t = time - key(n).time;
}

if (n > 0){
v = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - thisComp.frameDuration/10);
amp = .05;
freq = 4.0;
decay = 2.0;
value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
}else{
value;
}

Just put the code on Red Solid 2

I tried all these expressions and my life still sucks.
Please advise.

These expressions save so much time, you might get home earlier tonight just by reading this post. If you've ever animated these sorts of things manually, you'll know what I mean. Most will need to be tweaked to your specific needs, but it's just a matter of playing with the numbers a little, and understanding how they'll change your animation. Here's the goods:

Jumpy Wiggle 1 makes wiggle skip and hold rather than move fluidly.

// Jumpy Wiggle 1 (moves at a random FPS)
v=wiggle(5,50);
if(v < 50)v=0;
if(v > 50)v=100;
v

Jumpy Wiggle 2 is similar to 1, but works at a defined FPS so your "jump" will happen at a regular pace.

// Jumpy Wiggle 2 (moves at a defined FPS)
fps=5; //frequency
amount=50;  //amplitude
wiggle(fps,amount,octaves = 1, amp_mult = 0.5,(Math.round(time*fps))/fps);

Inertial Bounce is like making your moves "rubbery." Layers will overextend, then settle into place on position and rotation keyframes.

// Inertial Bounce (moves settle into place after bouncing around a little)
n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time){
n--;
}
}
if (n == 0){
t = 0;
}else{
t = time - key(n).time;
}

if (n > 0){
v = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - thisComp.frameDuration/10);
amp = .05;
freq = 4.0;
decay = 2.0;
value + v*amp*Math.sin(freq*t*2*Math.PI)/Math.exp(decay*t);
}else{
value;
}

Sometimes you just want something to move constantly without keyframing it. Use throw.

// Throw (move at a constant speed without keyframes)
veloc = -10; //horizontal velocity (pixels per second)
x = position[0] + (time - inPoint) *veloc;
y = position[1];
[x,y]

Same as throw, but for rotation.

// Spin (rotate at a constant speed without keyframes)
veloc = 360; //rotational velocity (degrees per second)
r = rotation + (time - inPoint) *veloc;

This is an awesome script works like a charm in AE. I was just wondering how do I get it to work on C4D? I tried using the COFFEE tag but hasn't worked yet for me. Thanks again for these scripts (awesome timesavers)

[AAAron]

I just joined the forums just to thank you for this stuff Especially Inertial Bounce!

[drnz]

Thanks Beav--that Inertial Bounce will defs come in handy.

[sjlloyd]

could hug you lot right now, thank gawd for expressions

[imcalledandy]

great stuff - I like spin and throw

cheers!

[knettwerk]

Thank you for this.

[holdengraphics]

Great stuff.

Does anyone know of an equivalent to Inertia Bounce in Cinema 4D?

Would be really useful ...

Thanks

The Jiggle deformer (Mocca module) does this. It has the added advantage of deforming the object as well - try spinning an object to see instant jelly/jello.

thanks....works great )

Bump, thanks again Beaver

[tomcat]

It is so easy to do this with keyframes.
Why not just learn the program?

[RustyAce]

not key framing is learning the program. There is a reason they built in the ability to scrip motion, plus you can achieve a smoother motion in half the time and be able to make adjustments faster then beating the curves to death.

[Audie12]

That's great to hear that..Thanks a lot for the information.Good job.

is there something like intertial bounce that would work on the morphing between pasted spline path keyframes in a shape/mask object? i'd love to add some bouncyness like the inertial bounce delivers

[kitkats]

Just wondering if anyone knows the easiest way to replicate inertial bounce in C4D?
