Sine Options

Basic tab

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.

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.
