Depending on what is selected in the Deform Type box, different effect parameters appear, helping you to set up your Deform
effect.
Crumple
- Amplitude field
-
Displays the amount of deformation. Increase the value to increase the effect.
- Time Offset field
-
Displays the time offset interval of the crumpling.
- Octaves field
-
Displays the number of layers summed in the operation, from 0 to 10. Increase the value to increase the fractal effect.
Magnify
- Radius field
-
Displays the size of the affected area. You can also drag the circle in the image window to change the size of the radius.
- Amount field
-
Displays the amount of the deformation.
- Direction box
-
Select Horizontal, Vertical, or Both to indicate the direction of the magnification.
- Damping box
-
Select how the effect is applied within the radius. Select None to apply no damping, Linear to decrease the effect linearly
to 0, or Quadratic to decrease the effect quadratically to 0.
Pinch
- Radius field
-
Displays the size of the affected area. You can also drag the circle in the image window to change the size of the radius.
- Amount field
-
Displays the amount of the deformation.
- Damping box
-
Select how the effect is applied within the radius. Select None to apply no damping, Linear to decrease the effect linearly
to 0, or Quadratic to decrease the effect quadratically to 0.
Ripple
- Amplitude field
-
Displays the amount of deformation. Increase the value to increase the effect.
- Ripples field
-
Displays the frequency of the ripples (from zero to 60).
- Radius field
-
Displays the size of the affected area. You can also drag the circle in the image window to change the size of the radius.
- Phase field
-
Displays the spread of the ripples to the centre. Use this value to animate the ripple effect.
- Max Ridges field
-
Displays the total number of ripples that can be generated. For example, set to 5 to create 5 rings of distortion.
- Damping box
-
Select how the effect is applied within the radius. Select None to apply no damping, Linear to decrease the effect linearly
to 0, or Quadratic to decrease the effect quadratically to 0.
Twirl
- Radius field
-
Displays the size of the affected area. You can also drag the circle in the image window to change the size of the radius.
- Angle field
-
Displays the direction of the twirl.
- Damping box
-
Select how the effect is applied within the radius. Select None to apply no damping, Linear to decrease the effect linearly
to 0, or Quadratic to decrease the effect quadratically to 0.
Wave
- Amplitude field
-
Displays the amount of deformation. Increase the value to increase the effect.
- Wave Frequency field
-
Displays the number of waves.
- Phase field
-
Displays the spread of the waves to the centre. Use this value to animate the wave effect.
- Compression field
-
Displays a pixel flattening value (negative values flatten to the left, and positive values flatten to the right).
