Why we like it

ShakeMaker earns its place in the Superhive library by turning f-curve noise modifiers into a one-click shake tool, with individual axis control and presets for repeatable settings.

What is Shakemaker?

ShakeMaker brings dynamic, customizable noise modifiers to Blender, letting you shake, wiggle, oscillate, vibrate, or wobble any object or camera. Select one or multiple objects or cameras, click 'Add Shake' at the top of the panel, then adjust the result inside the 'Shake Settings' menu below.

The interface sits in the 3D viewport under the 'N' tab on the right. You can adjust the scale, strength, depth, and phase of the noise modifiers for precise control, and the Advanced Shake Control panel exposes individual X, Y, and Z axis controls. Randomize settings in a single click, reset to defaults, or restrict shake animation across a range of frames. Turning off the random phase checkbox makes the animation oscillate.

Built-in and custom presets let you save favorite settings, and each selected object is listed with its current f-curve noise modifiers. Common camera controls are grouped in a dedicated Camera Settings panel. Version 1.6.0 is compatible with Blender 5.0, and both legacy and extension add-on versions are available. A video demo is available.

Frequently asked questions

Does ShakeMaker work with Blender 5.0?

ShakeMaker version 1.6.0 is compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer, released on December 20, 2025 with updated logic for the Blender 5.0 API, bug fixes, and streamlined registration functions. Both legacy and extension add-on versions are available, so you can pick the format that suits your Blender setup. For confirmation of support with your exact build, check the developer's page, which lists each released version alongside its update notes.

Where do I find ShakeMaker in Blender's interface?

ShakeMaker lives in the 3D viewport under the 'N' tab on the right, listed as ShakeMaker. To use it, select any objects or cameras, individually or multiple at once, then click the button at the top to 'Add Shake'. From there you customize the result within the 'Shake Settings' menu below, adjusting properties such as scale, strength, depth, and phase. Each selected object is also listed with its current f-curve noise modifiers so you can see what's applied.

Can ShakeMaker shake cameras as well as objects?

ShakeMaker works on both objects and cameras, and you can select them individually or several at once before adding shake. Common camera controls are grouped in a dedicated Camera Settings panel alongside the shake tools, which suits handheld camera effects as well as adding motion to regular objects. The random phase option can also automatically give each selected object a different shake pattern, so multiple items don't all move in sync.

How do I make ShakeMaker oscillate instead of shake randomly?

ShakeMaker uses a random phase by default, but turning off the random phase checkbox switches the animation to oscillate instead. This gives you a choice between varied, randomized shake and a more regular oscillating motion. You can also randomize shake settings in a single click for different results, or reset properties back to their defaults for a clean start. Individual X, Y, and Z axis controls in the Advanced Shake Control panel let you fine-tune the motion further.

Is ShakeMaker free to download?

ShakeMaker is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before downloading. The download page also provides access to future updates, and both legacy and extension add-on versions are offered. The released versions list documents each update and its changes, and the developer invites bug reports, suggestions, and questions if you run into issues.
