Parameters
These properties control the 3D transforms of the node. Transforms will generally be inherited by child nodes, although they can be ignored through the Inherit Transform Channels attributes.
Parameter Details Position X
The objects position along the local x-axis.
Position Y
The objects position along the local y-axis.
Position Z
The objects position along the local z-axis.
Rotation Heading
The objects rotation around the local y-axis.
Rotation Pitch
The objects rotation around the local x-axis.
Rotation Bank
The objects rotation around the local z-axis.
Scale X
The objects scale along the local x-axis.
Scale Y
The objects scale along the local y-axis.
Scale Z
The objects scale along the local z-axis.
Control the inheritance of the transforms from the parent.
Parameter Details Position
Toggle inheritance of the Position from the parent.
Rotation
Toggle inheritance of the Rotation from the parent.
Scale
Toggle inheritance of the Scale from the parent.
World Position Only
Inherit the world position from the parent only, rotation and scale will be ignored. Overrides above properties.
Inherit Time
Toggle inheritance of time from the parent.
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Apply Mode
Choose whether the deformer applies to the individual vertices or the mesh chunks.
- Vertices : The mesh deformations are applied to the mesh vertices.
- Chunks : The mesh deformations are applied to the separated mesh pieces.
Transfer Max Distance
TBC
Lock Skin
TBC
Skin Match Space
Which co-ordinate space to use to deform the skin.
- Object : TBC
- Transformed Object : TBC
- World : TBC
These properties control where the deformer affects the geometry.
Parameter Details Enabled
Enable falloff from the position of the deformer.
Shape
Select which shape to use to draw falloff from.
- Sphere : Falloff is drawn outward from a central point, forming a spherical falloff.
- Cylinder : Falloff is drawn outward from a line, forming a cylindrical falloff.
- Plane : Falloff is drawn outward from a plane.
Shape Orientation
Along which axis the shape should be drawn.
Outer Range
The outer range from which the falloff is calculated from.
Inner Range
The inner range from which the falloff is calculated from.
Curve Power
How quickly the falloff drops to 0 at the outer falloff.
Inputs
