Create wrinkle deformers

To create a wrinkle deformer, you use the Wrinkle Tool. The characteristics of the wrinkle deformer you create depend on the Wrinkle Tool’s tool settings.

Warning

Avoid changing the number of a deformable object’s points (for example, CVs, vertices, or lattice points) after you create a deformer. Changing the number of points can lead to unexpected deformation effects. Try to be sure you are happy with the deformable object’s topology before you begin using deformers. You might want to save a copy of the object in case you want to do further modeling later.

To create a wrinkle deformer

Select one or more deformable objects. Typically, the deformable object is a NURBS surface.
Select Create Deformers > Wrinkle Tool > . See Wrinkle Tool.
The Tool Settings window appears.
Set the Wrinkle Options.
Do one of the following:
- Click Reset Tool to reset to default options. The window remains open.
- Click Close to close the Tool Settings window.
  Note
  You can change the tool settings whenever you are using the Wire Tool by selecting Window > Settings/Preferences > Tool Settings.
A UV region of the surface is highlighted, allowing you to shape a wire cluster for deforming the surface.
-drag to shape the UV region. Scale it using the circle in the middle of each side, rotate it using the corners, and move it using the dot in the middle of the UV region.
Press (Linux and Windows) or (Mac OS X) when the UV region fits the area of the deformable object.
The “C” icon is the wrinkle deformer’s cluster deformer handle.

To create wrinkle deformation effects

Move, rotate, or scale the cluster deformer handle (the “C” icon).
Move, rotate, or scale the influence wires.
