Whether you're animating a handheld camera effect or adding subtle motion to an object, ShakeMaker provides the tools you need to achieve professional results effortlessly.

Anyone can create their own shake animations with a simple interface. Find it in the 3D viewport under the 'N' tab to the right > ShakeMaker.

Video Demo:

v1.5.0 - October 28, 2025 - Major bug fixes, 'Advanced Shake Control' panel added for individual axis controls, presets panel with built-in and custom presets

v1.4.0 - September 10, 2025 - Allow for deleting only shake animation from objects and restore objects to their original position before adding noise modifiers. Invert the Scale / 'Slowness' value to 'Speed' value for more intuitive settings. 'Speed', 'Distance', and 'Complexity' settings should now be keyframe-able. Initial keyframe needed for adding noise modifiers moved to frame 0 to hopefully clean timeline for those with many animations. Resetting shake settings while 'Auto-Apply' is active, no longer adds noise modifiers on its own. Blend in/out options added. Bugs cleaned up.

v1.3.0 - February 6, 2025 - Finally able to do some bug fixes, added functionality to restrict animation during a range of frames in the settings tab

v1.2.0 - August 23, 2024 - Added features (auto-apply settings option, delete selected objects animation button), reworded title and descriptions of some UI for clarity, refactored reused code

v1.1.2 - August 17, 2024 - console warning fixes for panels, inconsistent button sizing fix, clean up
