Animatable Graph Editor Modifiers

As a frequent user of the Graph Editor in Blender, I rely heavily on modifiers, particularly the noise modifier, to introduce random motion for effects such as wind. However, I've noticed that the current implementation does not allow for animating the parameters of these modifiers. This limitation is quite surprising given the flexibility and powerful capabilities of Blender.

The Start and End frame restrictions with the blend parameters are a nice-to-have, but they only allow me to ease-in/out of the noise modifier once in the entire project.

Proposal:

I would like to request the ability to animate the parameters of Graph Editor modifiers, such as strength, scale, and other relevant features. This enhancement would significantly improve the usability and versatility of these modifiers.

Use Case:

Animating these parameters would enable users to create more dynamic and realistic animations. For example, with the noise modifier, animating the strength could simulate varying wind intensity over time. This would allow for smoother transitions and more control over the randomness in the motion, making animations more lifelike and engaging.

Benefits:

Enhanced Realism: By animating the strength and scaling of modifiers, users can achieve more natural-looking animations, such as fluctuating wind speeds or varying turbulence.

Greater Control: Animating these parameters offers finer control over the effect of the modifier, enabling more precise and intentional motion.

Increased Creativity: With the ability to animate modifier features, artists can explore new creative possibilities, adding complexity and nuance to their animations.

Workflow Efficiency: This feature would streamline the animation process by reducing the need for workaround solutions, thus saving time and effort for users.

Overall, integrating this capability would align with Blender's commitment to providing powerful and flexible tools for artists. I hope you consider this request for future updates to enhance the functionality and creative potential of the Graph Editor.

Thank you for considering this feature request.
