# Motions

## 1 Axis (Position)

Displaces along an axis. Produces a `Vector3` output.

**Axis**: The direction of the displacement.

**Random Flip**: When enabled, the motion direction is randomly inverted for variation.

**Axis Mode**: Toggles the [Auto-Axis](/shakefx/core/auto-axis.md) feature.

## 1 Axis (Rotation)

Rotates around an axis. Produces a `Quaternion` output.

**Axis**: The axis around which it rotates.

**Random Flip**: When enabled, the rotation direction is randomly inverted for variation.

## 3 Axis (Position)

A three-axis positional motion that displaces independently along the X, Y, and Z axes. It's kind of like applying the **1 Axis (Position)** motion on the 3 axes at the same time. Produces a `Vector3` output.

Each axis has an individual offset, so the motions can be de-correlated from one another. This is controlled by the **Offset Type** and **Offset** properties.

**Offset Type**

* **Auto**: The offsets for each axis are picked automatically.
* **Manual**: The user specifies offsets for each axis (using the **Offset** property).

## 3 Axis (Rotation)

A rotational motion that applies independent rotation on the X, Y, and Z axes as Euler angles. Produces a `Quaternion` output.

Conceptually very similar to the **3 Axis (Position)** motion.

## 1D

Returns the direct result of a curve. Useful for `float` properties like camera field of view or Rigidbody2D rotation.

## Uniform

Same as **1D** but returns a `Vector3` where X, Y, and Z are equal. Useful for scaling a Transform uniformly on all axes.
