Bends

This sets the number of bends. Bends are sinusoidal offsets added to the pot's radius. The effect is similar to Ripples but with an extra oscillator: in addition to the sine wave applied vertically to the pot's surface, a second sine wave is applied around the circumference of each ring. Bends can be used to create complex surfaces such as S-curves, honeycombs, bumps, and pits. For even more variety, a third oscillator is available; see Ruffles. Note that this property has no effect unless Bend Depth is also non-zero, and for typical usage, Bend Poles should also be non-zero.
