6.23.4 Waves and Ripples

Of course, it is possible to create more than one WAVE method at the same level, in which case the generated waves will interfere with each other. In other words, the result wave is the sum of the component waves. Because the size of the parameters for wave methods defines the wave-length and -height, this feature can be used for example for generating "ripples" on waves.

So, let's create two wave methods generating parallel waves perpendicular to each other.

1. Create parallel waves as described in the previous example.

2. Duplicate the method object, rotate it and make it much smaller.

Play the animation and there will be small waves in the big waves.
