Deformers
Method #
Deformers change the positions of vertices in a parent mesh, or in some cases, alter the topology of the mesh itself. Generally these nodes are used with the Shape 3D, 3D Object, or the Combine Geometry nodes, but any node which generates geometry is applicable.
Deformers use a stacking order to define the order in which they are processed; top to bottom, then left to right. This makes it easy to stack multiple kinds of deformers together into much more complex effects.
