wrinkle is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
The wrinkle command is used to create a network of wrinkles on a
surface. It automatically creates a network of wrinkle curves that
control a wire deformer. The wrinkle curves are attached to a
cluster deformer.

| Long name (short name) |
Argument types |
Properties |
style(st) |
string |
 |
|
Specifies the wrinkle style. Valid values are "radial" or
"tangential" |
|
center(ct) |
[linear, linear, linear] |
|
|
Specifies the center of the wrinkle. |
|
axis(ax) |
[linear, linear, linear] |
|
|
Specifies the plane of the wrinkle. |
|
dropoffDistance(dds) |
linear |
|
|
Specifies the dropoff distance around the center. |
|
wrinkleCount(wc) |
uint |
|
|
Specifies the number of wrinkle lines to be generated. Default
is 3. |
|
branchCount(brc) |
uint |
|
|
Specifies the number of branches per wrinkle. Default is
2. |
|
branchDepth(bd) |
uint |
|
|
Specifies the depth of the branching. Default is 0. |
|
wrinkleIntensity(wi) |
linear |
|
|
Increasing the intensity makes it more wrinkly. Default is
0.5. |
|
envelope(en) |
linear |
|
|
The envelope globally attenuates the amount of deformation.
Default is 1.0. |
|
randomness(rnd) |
linear |
|
|
Amount of randomness. Default is 0.2. |
|
thickness(th) |
linear |
|
|
Wrinkle thickness. Default is 1.0. |
|
uvSpace(uv) |
[linear, linear, linear, linear,
linear] |
|
|
1/2 length, 1/2 breadth, rotation angle, center u, v definition
of a patch in uv space where the wrinkle is to be constructed. |
|
crease(cr) |
string |
 |
|
Specifies an existing curve to serve as the wrinkle. |
