Parameters in the Inspector
Wave Shape: A pop-up menu that lets you choose the shape of the oscillation’s wave.
The choices are Sine (default), Square, Sawtooth, and Triangle.
• Sine: The default wave shape, the sine wave creates a smooth animation between
values. For example, if Oscillate is applied to an object’s Opacity parameter, and the
Wave Shape is set to Sine, the object gracefully fades in and out.
• Square: The square wave creates abrupt changes in values. For example, when Oscillate
is applied to an object’s Opacity parameter, and the Wave Shape is set to Square, the
object flashes on and off (like turning a light switch on and off ).
