These controls, available only at the Vertex stack

selection level, let you set a gradual falloff of

influence b etween selected and unselected vertices.

See Soft Selection Rollout (Edit/Editable Mesh)

Note: Soft Selection does not apply to materials or

smoothing g roups. However, if there was already a

The Wave modifier produces a wave effect in an

object’s geometry. You can use either of two wa ves,

or combine them. Wave uses a standard gizmo

and center, which you can transform to increase

thepossiblewaveeffects.

The Wave (page 2–100) space warp has similar

features, and is useful for applying effects to a large

number of objects.
