Waves Settings (Texture Editor)
Controls the appearance settings for the Waves texture.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Appearance
- Color 1
-
Provides the option of selecting a color for the waves.
Click the color box to display the Select Color dialog box.
- Color 2
-
Provides the option of selecting a second color for the waves.
Click the color box to display the Select Color dialog box.
- Distribution
-
Specifies the distribution of the waves. 3D distributes the wave centers on the surface
on an imaginary sphere, affecting all sides of a 3D object. 2D distributes the wave
in circles centered on the XY plane, which is more appropriate for flat water surfaces such as oceans and lakes.
Waves
- Number
-
Specifies how many wave sets are used in the pattern. Wave sets are groups of radially
symmetrical waves that originate from randomly computed points along the surface of
an imaginary sphere inside the object (a circle, in the case of 2D wave distribution).
For calm water, set this to a low number. Use a high number for choppy water. Range
= 1 to 50; Default = 3. - Radius
-
Specifies the radius of the imaginary sphere (3D distribution) or circle (2D distribution)
whose surface is the origin of each wave set. A large radius produces large circular
wave patterns, while a small radius produces dense, smaller waves. Default = 39.37. - Len Min
-
Defines the minimum interval for each wave center. If values are close together, the
waves appear more regular; if they are farther apart, the waves are less regular.
Default = 1.97. - Len Max
-
Defines the maximum interval for each wave center. If values are close together, the
waves appear more regular; if they are farther apart, the waves are less regular.
Default = 1.97. - Amplitude
-
Specifies the amplitudes of the waves. The 3D setting distributes the wave centers
on the surface on an imaginary sphere, affecting all sides of a 3D object. The 2D
setting distributes the wave in circles centered on the XY plane, which is more appropriate for flat water surfaces such as oceans and lakes.
Range = 0 to 10000; default = 1. - Phase
-
Shifts the wave pattern. Range = 0 to 1000; Default = 0.
- Random seed
-
Provides a seed number to generate the water pattern. The pattern changes with each
seed. Range = 0 to 65535; default = 30159.
