Ripple simulation

The Ripple solver simulations the propagation of ripples across a surface.

See the Ripple Object dynamics node for how to set up a object for rippling.

See the Ripple Solver for the solver parameters.

Ripple propagation, while easiest to understand on a height field, is not restricted to grid topology. Ripples can propagate along a curve, through a 3d lattice of points, or even across a complicated triangular mesh.
