This tool is useful for creating rippling water.

Using Ripple in the viewer

  1. Select the points for the ripple.

    Note

    This tool works well when there are many points selected. If you are placing a ripple on a grid, increase the rows and columns.

  2. Click the Ripple tool on the Deform tab.

  3. Use the Frequency, Height, and Wave Decay parameters to create the ripple.

    Note

    The wave decay default setting is very high. Decrease its value for a more visible ripple effect.

For specific parameter node help see the Ripple help.
