The Wave Pattern procedural texture produces a wavy pattern defined by two color parameters (figure 1).

Wave Pattern Parameters

Axis - Determines the coordinate axis for the waves.

Shape - Provides options for altering the shape of the waves.

Amplitude & Amplitude Shift - Provides control over the brightness of the wave pattern.

Color 1 & 2 - Determines the two colors generated by the wave pattern. Other textures can be connected to these parameters to create more complex results.

UVW Transform - Positions, scales, and rotates the surface texture.

Projection - Sets how the texture projects onto the surface.
