Wiggle Effect

The Wiggle effect applies global displacement to all cells using either wave-based or Perlin noise-based motion. It is time-dependent — the displacement pattern changes automatically with each frame.

Modes

Wave Mode

Displaces cells using a sine wave along a single axis.

Parameter	Range	Default	Description
Mode	`horizontal-wave` / `vertical-wave`	—	Wave displacement direction
Wave Frequency	0–20	1.0	Number of wave cycles across the canvas
Wave Amplitude	1–20	3	Maximum displacement in cells

Noise Mode

Displaces cells using Perlin noise with independent horizontal and vertical control.

Parameter	Range	Default	Description
Mode	`noise`	—	Enable Perlin noise displacement
Noise Octaves	1–8	3	Noise detail levels — higher values add finer detail
Noise H Frequency	0–5	1.0	Horizontal noise frequency
Noise H Amplitude	0–50	10	Maximum horizontal displacement in cells
Noise V Frequency	0–5	1.0	Vertical noise frequency
Noise V Amplitude	0–50	10	Maximum vertical displacement in cells
Noise Seed	0–9999	Random	Deterministic seed for reproducible results

Info

Noise mode supports independent horizontal and vertical control — set one axis amplitude to 0 to wiggle only along the other axis.

Keyframing

All numeric parameters support keyframe animation. Mode uses hold interpolation.

Keyframe amplitude to fade the wiggle in/out, or animate frequency for evolving patterns.

Use Cases

Camera shake — Noise mode, low amplitude (2–5), high octaves (4–6)
Jelly/wobble — Horizontal wave, moderate frequency (2–4), low amplitude (2–3)
Glitch effect — Noise mode, high H amplitude (20–40), low V amplitude (0–2)
Organic movement — Noise mode, low frequency (0.3–0.8), moderate amplitude (5–10)

Technical Notes

Time-dependent: uses perFrameBake when baking — generates unique output per frame
Wave mode produces uniform displacement per row/column; noise mode produces per-cell displacement
Cells displaced beyond canvas bounds are clipped
