Hi,
How can I get my external compositing tag to reflect animations created by the jiggle deformer?
Thank you!

Hi Greg,

Would you mind to specify the target?

The External Compositing Tag delivers the Object Axis. The Jiggle Deformer work on vertices/point level.

To get something from it, You might produce the information with a Cloner, etc.

Let me know what you need, perhaps with a scene file and I’m happy to look into it.

Cheers

Hi Dr. Sassi,
Here is the project. I tried to bake the jiggle deformer and that yielded the baked keyframes and the PLA in the timeline. But when I export the project to AE the extra animation originally created by the jiggle deformer does not appear.

Thanks for the file, Greg.

As mentioned above, the Jiggle Deformer works with points. In that way the points, or as shown below, the resulting Polygon, can be used. It needs a “translation” into an object axis.

Please have a look here:

Let me know if that works for you.

All the best
