wrinkle [-axis linear linear linear] [-branchCount uint] [-branchDepth uint] [-center linear linear linear] [-crease string] [-dropoffDistance linear] [-envelope linear] [-randomness linear] [-style string] [-thickness linear] [-uvSpace linear linear linear linear linear] [-wrinkleCount uint] [-wrinkleIntensity linear] objects

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.

Return value

string[]List of clusters created followed by list of wire deformers created.

Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-axis(-ax) linear linear linear create
Specifies the plane of the wrinkle.
-branchCount(-brc) uint create
Specifies the number of branches per wrinkle. Default is 2.
-branchDepth(-bd) uint create
Specifies the depth of the branching. Default is 0.
-center(-ct) linear linear linear create
Specifies the center of the wrinkle.
-crease(-cr) string createmultiuse
Specifies an existing curve to serve as the wrinkle.
-dropoffDistance(-dds) linear create
Specifies the dropoff distance around the center.

The envelope globally attenuates the amount of deformation. Default is 1.0.
-randomness(-rnd) linear create
Amount of randomness. Default is 0.2.

-thickness(-th) linear create
Wrinkle thickness. Default is 1.0.
-uvSpace(-uv) linear linear linear linear linear create
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) uint create
Specifies the number of wrinkle lines to be generated. Default is 3.
