Amplitude
The maximum movement in the Y direction.
Frequency
Use this setting to determine the rotational wave velocity.
Array Frequency
The Array Frequency denes the number of waves.
Atom Array Object
You’ll nd the Atom Array on the Objects > Modeling submenu. It creates an atom-like structure
from each of its child objects. All object edges are replaced with cylinders and all points are replaced
with spheres.
To obtain this particular atom-like model, make a Platonic primitive (Type set to Bucky) a child of the
Atom Array.
The Atom Array is especially useful for rendering polygon edges (i.e. the mesh).
In the Object manager, select the Atom Array. In the Attribute manager, set
Cylinder Radius and Sphere Radius to the same value.
