Im an ex-max user and Max has a cool modifier called Noise, which basically offsets vertices slightly to make a model look a bit weathered. And to give texture to the mesh. Does anyone know of a way to do this in maya?

You could always make it a soft body and apply some turbulance, i know its not quiet the same but can work pretty well.

Who?

And applogies is does actually work with maya 5...

I actually mixed up what this did...I always remember the noise modifier in max to make things shake and so on..

Like camera shake, create a camera and then apply a noise modifier...

oh well, cool tools anyways...

Anyone know if something like that exists for maya yet?

you could write a random expression for the translate values for your camera. put them in a certain distance limit. maybe that mel script, you can hook up to your camera also, using like the connect attributes? just idea

kabab, i believe the script your mentioned is:

http://www.highend3d.com/files/dl.3d?group=melscripts&file_loc=layer-shake-v1.9-.mel&file_id=1736

I cant seem to get it to work, all it comes out with when i run the UI is

// Error: Cannot find procedure "shake". //



I do have the object that I want to shake, selected..

Seems to me you haven't declare the proc shake yet.
It's declare under the UI part.

just for kicks, try this expression on a sphere translateY.

Sphere.ty=noise(time);

If this gets you started in expressions, then you'll not need any modifier.
