Sway

Sway objects like grass in the wind.

Authors and contributors to this experimental extension: Bubble.

This extension makes objects sway at different times.

It can be used to:

  • Simulate grass and plant movement swaying in the wind
  • Animate seaweed in an underwater environment
  • Give flames a flickering look

Set Center and Origin points to the center base of the object for best results.

Check out this demo to see what this extension can do.
