   Option	Description
   Name	Set the name of the Wind Controller.
   Activate	Set the activation status of the wind.
   Unlimited Bound (ver 2024.0)	Set the range of influence of the wind. By default, the wind effect is applied to the entire 3D window, and if you turn this option off, you can directly adjust the range of wind influence with the gizmo and apply it only to the set area.
   Type	Set the type of the wind.
   	Spherical	The wind blows in spherical shape, in every direction starting from the Wind Controller.
   	Planar	The wind blows only from the designated direction, regardless of the Wind Controller's location.
   Strength	Set the intensity of the wind. The higher the value, the stronger the wind.
   Decay [0~100]	Set the range of the wind. The wind draws an arc and blows weaker according to the set value of wind intensity. If the value is "0", it blows in a straight line endlessly.
   Frequency (sec)	Set the cycle of the wind. The wind repeatably blows weaker and stronger in interval of set value of seconds. If the value is "0", it blows regularly.
   Turbulence (Turbulence)	Set the turbulence of wind intensity. The higher the value, the more irregular the wind intensity.
   Translate	Adjust the location of the Wind Controller by entering X, Y, and Z axis values.
