* '''Shatter''' - "shatters" a 3D object. One of the more versatile Wax effects, as it can be manipulated to warp shapes and create interesting 3D ~~patterns~~.

* '''Shatter''' - "shatters" a 3D object. One of the more versatile Wax effects, as it can be manipulated to warp shapes and create interesting 3D shapes.

There are two major "modes" to the shatter effect: "standard" and "bulge". Standard is your regular triangular shatter effect, while Bulge instead stretches the 3D shape to the shape of the bulge.

Some tips and tricks for working with Shatter:

* The shatter effect is animated by default. If you don't want this, set the Force variable to a non-zero value.

* The "shatter" itself is an object that manipulates whatever is around it. Multiple shatters can be combined to make complicated modifications to shapes, especially if Bulge is turned on.

File:Shatter wax corner.jpg|The same effect but the the shatter moved slightly to the left. Keep in mind the two objects do ''not'' move together!

* '''Vortex''' - creates a 3D vortex out of the footage. One of Wax's most well known effects.
