Wobble Material: Jelly Motion

Wobble makes a shape sway and twist like jelly. The object keeps its form but bends back and forth over time, with different heights of the shape twisting by different amounts, so it looks soft and springy.

How it works

The surface is rotated around the vertical axis by an angle that changes with height and with time, following a sine wave. The result is a gentle, rhythmic twist that travels up and down the object. Factor sets how far it twists and Speed how quickly it goes back and forth. Lighting stays normal, so the twisting surface catches light as it moves. Like any material that bends geometry, it needs a shape with enough detail; a sphere, a cylinder or a smooth model looks better than a simple box.

Settings

• Factor sets the strength of the wobble; the default is 1. Lower it for a slight sway, raise it for a cartoon jiggle.
• Speed sets the tempo; the default is 2.
• Color sets the surface color.

How it differs from Distort

Distort breathes: the surface bulges in and out with a noise. Wobble twists: the whole shape sways around its vertical axis in a regular rhythm. Use Distort for organic blobs and Wobble for bouncy, playful objects.
