Morph Deformer
Updated: 15 Sep 2026
Provides controls for Blend Shapes / Morph Targets from the connected mesh
Morph Deformer
Method #
This node allows you control any Blend Shapes / Morph Targets which are available for the attached mesh.
Notch only support Blend Shapes from FBX and Alembic mesh formats.
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.
Control the inheritance of the transforms from the parent.
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Morph Names
The name of the blend shapes you are looking to control.
Blend Mode
Control the morphing behaviour.
- Absolute : Absolute morphing blend behaviour.
- Additive : Additive morphing blend behaviour.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
Inputs
