- Low Bound
-
Specifies
the extent of the sine wave along the deformer’s local negative
Y axis. Values can be negative numbers or zero. Use the slider to specify
values from negative 10.0000 to 0.0000. Default is -1.0000.
- High Bound
-
Specifies
the extent of the sine wave along the deformer’s local positive
Y axis. Values can be positive numbers only (minimum value is 0). Use
the slider to specify values from 0.0000 to 10.0000. Default is
1.0000.
- Amplitude
-
Specifies
the amplitude (maximum wave amount) of the sine wave. Use the slider
to specify values from -5.0000 to 5.0000. Default is 0.0000 (no
wave).
- Wavelength
-
Specifies
the frequency of the sine wave along the deformer’s local Y-axis.
For greater frequency, decrease the wavelength. For lesser frequency,
increase the wavelength. Use the slider to specify values from -0.1000
to 10.0000. Default is 2.0000.
- 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 specify 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 wriggling effect. Use the slider to specify values
from -10.0000 to 10.0000. Default is 0.0000.
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. Check on or off (default is off).
If on, the Partition To Use and New Partition
Name options become available.
- 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.
