single axis, or assign a controller on an axis. For example, after applying a
Scale XYZ controller, you could apply a Noise or Waveform controller to an
axis to animate that axis independently.
The Scale XYZ controller assigns three keys (one for each axis), by default. In
previous versions of the software, you had to edit the keys manually in order
to create explicit axis keys. However, there are now actions available from the
Customize User Interface dialog on page 7697 that let you create explicit axis
keys
on page 3114.
TIP Open Track View to view and edit the three scale tracks.
Procedures
Example: To assign the Scale XYZ controller to an object:
1 In the Top viewport, create a sphere.
2 Right-click over the sphere and choose Curve Editor from the quad menu.
Track View - Curve Editor opens with the sphere as the first item in the
hierarchy.
3 In the Track View hierarchy, click the Scale track.
4 From the Track View menus, choose Controller > Assign and select Scale
XYZ from the Assign Controller dialog.
Three tracks are displayed and are available to control the object's scale.
5 In the Track View hierarchy, click the Z Scale track, click Controller
> Assign from the Track View menus, and then choose Noise Float from
the dialog.
The Noise Controller dialog automatically displays.
6 Click Play. The sphere changes scale along the Z axis, controlled by the
Noise controller.
Interface
After applying the Scale XYZ controller to an object, Scale XYZ parameters
appear in a rollout on the Motion panel.
