pymel.core.animation.wrinkle

wrinkle(*args, **kwargs)

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.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
axis (ax)		float, float, float
	Specifies the plane of the wrinkle.
branchCount (brc)		int
	Specifies the number of branches per wrinkle. Default is 2.
branchDepth (bd)		int
	Specifies the depth of the branching. Default is 0.
center (ct)		float, float, float
	Specifies the center of the wrinkle.
crease (cr)		unicode
	Specifies an existing curve to serve as the wrinkle.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
dropoffDistance (dds)		float
	Specifies the dropoff distance around the center.
envelope (en)		float
	The envelope globally attenuates the amount of deformation. Default is 1.0.
randomness (rnd)		float
	Amount of randomness. Default is 0.2.
style (st)		unicode
	Specifies the wrinkle style. Valid values are “radial” or “tangential”
thickness (th)		float
	Wrinkle thickness. Default is 1.0.
uvSpace (uv)		float, float, float, float, float
	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.
wrinkleCount (wc)		int
	Specifies the number of wrinkle lines to be generated. Default is 3.
wrinkleIntensity (wi)		float
	Increasing the intensity makes it more wrinkly. Default is 0.5.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.wrinkle

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Apply radial wrinkles to a sphere:

mySph = pm.sphere()
pm.wrinkle( mySph, st='radial', wc=3, brc=2, bd=0, th=1, rnd=0.2, wi=0.5, uv=(2.0, 4.0, 0.0, 2.0, 4.0) )
# Result: [u'cluster1', u'cluster1Handle', u'wire1', u'wrinkle1', u'wrinkle2', u'wrinkle3'] #

# Apply a 5-line tangential wrinkle to a plane:

myPlane = pm.nurbsPlane( w=50, u=20, v=20 )
pm.wrinkle( myPlane, st='lines', wc=5, th=1.0, rnd=0.2, wi=0.5, uv=(1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.5, 0.5) )
# Result: [u'cluster2', u'cluster2Handle', u'wire2', u'wrinkle4', u'wrinkle5', u'wrinkle6', u'wrinkle7', u'wrinkle8'] #
