      good morning. I tried that, thank you, but the distortion is asymmetrical. I want to introduce wrinkles going the long way. My second post above is close but the distortion isn't affecting the Y axis.

          Good Morning to you! (It is 8:17pm here on the Pacific Coast.)

          Yes, schnoidl, there is a file, but I have to post the text before I can place it there. Then I can upload it; with that extra step, the loaded file doesn't appear in the email.

          The Z direction might need to be larger than 123456789 to stretch the noise along z so much that it doesn't change for this object.

          Here is another approach, perhaps, that allows you a better art direction via the Vertex tag.

            P.S.: One more.

            I have created two Vertex maps so the fine-tuning can happen in the Restriction Tag

                gets us almost all the way there, but i can't seem to control the shape. would like the creases to go the length of the middle part, with a smoother overall shape. right now the sphere field is leaving two lumps on the ends, followed by low rings, then the good distortion starts.
                I tried FFD/Mesh deformer, but it only affected the lumps on the ends?
                also would be nice if it used a single vertex map, so i could draw in a little more randomness. thank you.

                  Hi schnoidl,

                  Please have a look here:

                  I adjusted the Curve, and it is flat, with no "lumps"
                  The restriction tag has two Vertex Maps, so you can set the "valleys' " depth.

                  All the best
