I'm animating a fish to swoosh around as it moves forward using a displace modifier (like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58lc8sLpJzY). The problem is that I want it to go in a circle using a follow path constraint but you use offset to do the animation rather than y. The displace modifier is using the y to map the location of the fish to the cloud texture (so if it goes in a circle it would only swoosh a little bit depending how fast it is moving along the y axis).

Is there some way to map the displace modifier to offset instead of y?

    Don't use global coordinates, use object. Create an empty and use it as the object that control the displacement coordinates. –  Jan 09 '20 at 21:53
