Radio WavesThis effect generates waves from an effect point and can be used to create pond ripples, sound waves, or intricate geometric patterns. Use the effect's options to control the emitted shape's number of sides; the width, color, and quality of the line; and the speed, rotation, life span, and the fade rate of the shapes. The Reflection option makes the emanating shapes bounce off the sides of the layer. Radio Waves generates realistic wave displacement maps that work well when combined with the Wave World and Caustics effects.
