What are wave deformers?
 
 
 

The wave deformer is similar to the sine deformer. The sine deformer’s sine wave propagates in the deformer’s local Y axis, with the amplitude along the X axis. The wave deformer’s sine wave propagates along the deformer’s local X and Z axes, with the amplitude along the Y axis. Wave deformers include handles that enable you to control the extent, amplitude, and wavelength of the wave effects in an intuitive manner.

The wave deformer deforms an object based on a circular sine wave for ripple effects. If you’d like to explore an example now, see Wave deformer example.
