Basic tab

Min Radius

Specifies the minimum radius of the circular sine wave. Use the slider to select values from 0.0000 to 1.0000. Default is 0.0000.

Max Radius

Specifies the maximum radius of the circular sine wave. Use the slider to select values from 0.0000 to 10.0000. Default is 1.0000.

Amplitude

Specifies the amplitude (maximum wave amount) of the sine wave. Use slider to select values from -5.0000 to 5.0000. Default is 0.0000 (no wave).

Wavelength

Specifies the frequency of the sine wave. For greater frequency, decrease the wavelength. For lesser frequency, increase the wavelength. Use the slider to select values from -0.1000 to 10.0000. Default is 1.0000.

Dropoff

Specifies how the amplitude decays. Negative values specify a decay towards the center of the deformer handle (minimum is -1.0000), and positive values specify a decay away from the center of the deformer handle (maximum is 1.0000). Use the slider to select values from -1.0000 to 1.0000. Default is 0.0000 (no decay).

Offset

Specifies the location of the sine wave relative to the center of the deformer handle. Changing this value can create a rippling effect. Use the slider to select values from -10.0000 to 10.0000. Default is 0.

Advanced tab

See Advanced deformer options.

Deformation Order

Specifies the placement of the deformer node in the deformable object’s history. For more information about deformer placement, see Deformation order.

Exclusive

Specifies whether the deformer set is in a partition. Sets in a partition can have no overlapping members. If on, the Partition To Use and New Partition Name options become available. Default is off.

Partition To Use

Lists any existing partitions, and a default selection Create New Partition. If you select Create New Partition, you can edit the New Partition Name field to specify the name of a new partition. Only available if Exclusive is on.

New Partition Name

Specifies the name of a new partition that will include the deformer set. The suggested partition name is deformPartition, which will be created if it does not already exist. Typically, you might put all your exclusive deformer sets in the partition named deformPartition. However, you can create as many partitions as you like, and name them whatever you want. Only available if Exclusive is on.
