Properties

Note: Some of the properties can be entered using more than one syntax. They are listed together in the following list. Either syntax can be used, they are connected.

<RingWave>.'max diameter' Float default: 500.0 -- animatable; alias: radius

The outside radius of the ringwave.

<RingWave>.'ring width' Float default: 1.0 -- animatable; alias: Ring_Width

The mean ring width as measured inward from the outer radius.

<RingWave>.'ring segments' Integer default: 200 -- animatable; alias: sides

The number of segments in the circumferential direction for both the inner, outer, and end (cap) surfaces.

<RingWave>.height Float default: 0.0 -- animatable

The time after which the ringwave disappears.

<RingWave>.'Outer Edge Breakup' Boolean default: false -- alias: Outer_Edge_Breakup

Turns on breakup of the outer edge.

<RingWave>.'Major Cycles Outer' Integer default: 1 -- alias: Outer_Edge_Major_Cycles

The number of major waves around the outer edge.

<RingWave>.'Major Cycle Flux Outer' Float default: 0.0 -- animatable; alias: Outer_Edge_Major_Flux

The size of the major waves, expressed as a percentage of the unmodulated width.

<RingWave>.'Major Cycle Flux Per Outer' Integer default: 16000 -- animatable; alias: Outer_Edge_Major_Crawl_Time

The time each major wave takes to move around the outer circumference of the RingWave.

<RingWave>.'Minor Cycles Outer' Integer default: 1 -- alias: Outer_Edge_Minor_Cycles

The number of random-sized smaller waves in each major cycle.

<RingWave>.'Minor Cycle Flux Outer' Float default: 0.0 -- animatable; alias: Outer_Edge_Minor_Flux

The average size of the smaller waves, expressed as a percentage of the unmodulated width.

<RingWave>.'Minor Cycle Flux Per Outer' Integer default: -16000 -- animatable; alias: Outer_Edge_Minor_Crawl_Time

The time each minor wave takes to move across its respective major wave.

<RingWave>.'Inner Edge Breakup' Boolean default: true -- alias: Inner_Edge_Breakup

Turns on the breakup of the inner edge.

<RingWave>.'Major Cycles Inner' Integer default: 11 -- alias: Inner_Edge_Major_Cycles

<RingWave>.repeats Integer default: 2 -- radio button number

The number of times the ringwave cycle repeats.

<RingWave>.'Mapping Coords' Boolean default: false

When on, assigns mapping coordinates to the ringwave.

<RingWave>.Smoothing Boolean default: false

When on, smooths the surface of the ringwave.
