Le modificateur Simple Deform

The Simple Deform modifier allows easy application of a simple deformation to an object (meshes, lattices, curves, surfaces and texts are supported).

Utilisant un autre objet, il est possible de définir l’axe et l’origine de la déformation, permettant l’application d’effets très différents.

The Simple Deform modifier.

Mode

Defines the kind of deformation which will be applied.

Twist

Rotates the mesh around the specified Axis.

Bend

Bends the mesh over the specified Axis.

Taper

Linearly scales along the specified Axis.

Stretch

Stretches the object along the specified Axis (negative Factor leads to squash), preserving volume by scaling inversely on the two other axes.

Vertex Group

Le nom du groupe de sommets qui indique chaque sommet est influencé par la déformation.

Axis, Origin

The name of an object that defines the origin and axis of deformation (usually an empty). This object can be:

  • Rotated to control the axis (its local Axis is now used as the deformation one).

  • Moved to control the origin of the deformation.

  • Scaled to change the deformation factor.

Angle/Factor

Le niveau de déformation. Peut être négatif pour inverser la déformation.

Limits

These settings allow you to set the lower and upper limits of the deformation. The upper limit cannot be lower than the lower one.

Lock X/Y/Z (Twist, Taper and Stretch modes only)

These controls whether the coordinates along the two other axes are allowed to change or not. E.g. if you Stretch your object along its Z axis, it is possible to squash along the X axis only, by locking the Y one.
