nxWave Object tab menu.

Speed

Sets the speed of movement of the waves (in cm/s), in the direction shown by the arrow in the solver.

nxWave_Speed_1.mp4

The left-hand example is set at the default Speed of 100cm, in this animation. The right is increased to a Speed value of 200cm.

Strength

The strength of the wave, which is directly related to the wave height.

nxWave_Strength_1.mp4

The Strength value is 10cm, on the left, and 30cm, on the right.

Size

These controls can be used to set the size of the solver box area.
