floating object
say i want the effect of a sphere hovering gently in the air.
in max i would have just added a noise controller to it's y position controller.
is there an easy way to do this in maya or do i need to write a mel script?
thanks!
Adam.

pSphere1.ty = sin(time/4) * 0.8;
that should do it.
Right click the attribute in the channel box and select expressions then find the attribute and type that in.

that will not be random movement though? would look a bit. . mechanical?
i'm assuming there's a 'random' command I could add in there somewhere?

I'm learning MEL at the moment, but I've only just started.
