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

Tool menu item is located under the Create

Wrinkle Settings
Type
Specifies the type of wrinkle deformer.
Select Tangential, Radial,
or Custom. Default is Radial.
- Tangential
-
Combine influence wires
that are roughly parallel. A tangential wrinkle deformer can only deform
a single NURBS surface.
- Radial
-
Combines influence wires
that branch from a single point, like spokes on a wheel. A radial wrinkle
deformer can only deform a single NURBS surface.
- Custom
-
Combines influence wires
you created in the fashion that best suits the effect you would
like to make. A custom wrinkle deformer can deform any deformable
object (NURBS surfaces, polygonal surfaces, lattices and so on).
- Amount
-
Specifies the number of parent influence
wires in the wrinkle deformer. The total number of influence wires
can also include child influence wires specified by Radial
Branch Amt and Radial Branch Depth.
Use the slider to select value between 0 and 20. Default is 3.
- Thickness
-
Specifies the surface dropoff. The surface
dropoff is the area influenced by each influence wire. Use the slider
to select values from 0.0000 to 2.0000. Default is 1.0000.
- Randomness
-
Specifies how close the wrinkle deformer conforms
to the specified Amount, Intensity, Radial
Branch Amt, and Radial Branch Depth. Use
the slider to select values from 0.0000 to 1.0000. Default is 0.2000.
- Intensity
-
Specifies the sharpness of the creases
created by the influence wires. The minimum intensity (0) specifies
smooth creases. The maximum intensity (1) specifies sharp, steep
creases. Use slider to select values from 0.0000 to 1.0000. Default
is 0.5000.
- Radial Branch Amt
-
Specifies
the number of child influence wires that branch from each parent
influence wire. Applies to radial wrinkle deformers only. Use slider
to select values from 0 to 10. Default is 2.
- Radial Branch Depth
-
Specifies
the depth of the influence wire hierarchy, which is the number of
levels of child influence wires that branch from each parent influence
wire. Increasing the Radial Branch Depth exponentially
increases the total number of influence wires. Applies to radial
wrinkle deformers only. Use slider to select values from 0 to 4.
Default is 0.
