Earns its place in the superhive library as a focused, single-purpose add-on: noise-based wiggle applied through delta transforms stacks over animation you've already made, and it spans Blender 2.8 through 3.4 under the GPL license.
The Wiggle Add-On is a Blender tool for adding noise-based movement to objects. A single click applies the effect, and you can dial in the strength, speed and influence separately for both rotation and location.
Because it operates on delta transforms, the wiggle goes on top of any animation an object already has. The developer, William Landgren, used the add-on extensively on the short film Impetus to add detailed movement to decorations, grass, trees, characters, camera movement and hanging jewelry, noting that micro details and noise-based animation are a good way to improve realism.
The add-on ships with documentation and works across Blender 2.8 through 3.4, and it is released under the GPL license. A demo video is available for a closer look before you add it to your workflow.
The Wiggle Add-On is best for artists adding micro details and noise-based movement to elements such as decorations, grass, trees, characters, camera moves or hanging jewelry in Blender.
The Wiggle Add-On is completely free to download and use.
The Wiggle Add-On lists compatibility with Blender 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, covering the 2.8 series through 3.4. If you are running one of those releases, you should be able to install and use it directly. For any Blender version outside that range, check the developer's page for current details, since compatibility beyond the listed versions is not stated here.
The Wiggle Add-On operates on delta transforms, which means the noise-based movement it generates goes on top of any animation an object already has. You add the effect with a single click and can adjust its strength, speed and influence independently for rotation and location. Because the wiggle layers over your existing keyframes, you can apply it to decorations, characters, camera movement and similar elements without redoing the base animation.
The Wiggle Add-On is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and availability can change over time, so for the current terms it's best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on is released under the GPL license and ships with documentation to help you get started. If you have questions about pricing or usage rights, William Landgren's page is the place to confirm the latest information.
The Wiggle Add-On lets you adjust the strength, speed and influence of the noise-based movement, and it applies these to both rotation and location. Setting the influence separately means you can tune how much an object rotates versus how much its position shifts. The effect starts from a single click and is refined from there, giving access to subtler or more pronounced motion depending on the values you choose.
