Warp Modifier

The Warp modifier can be used to warp parts of a mesh to a new location in a very flexible way, by using two objects to select the «from» and «to» regions.

A Warp modifier applied to a grid mesh.

This modifier is a bit tricky to understand at first. It requires two points, specified by the two target objects“ origins. The «from» point designates a point in space that is pulled toward the «to» point. It is akin to using the Proportional Editing in Edit Mode.

Опции (options)

The Warp modifier.

Object From

The object defining the origin transformation of the warp.

Object To

The object defining the destination transformation of the warp.

Preserve Volume

Enables volume preservation when rotating one of the transforms.

Сила (strength)

Sets how strong the effect is.

Группа вершин (vertex group)

The name of a vertex group which is used to control the influence of the modifier. If left empty, the modifier affects all vertices equally.

Переставить <->

Инвертирует влияние выбранной группы вершин, что означает, что теперь группа представляет вершины, которые не будут деформированы модификатором.

Эта настройка меняет значения веса группы на противоположные.

Спад (falloff)

Falloff Type

Sets the way the strength of the warp change as it goes from the center of the transform to the Radius value. See Proportional Editing for descriptions of the falloff types.

Радиус (radius)

Sets the distance from the transforms that can be warped by the transform handles.

Текстура (texture)

Текстура (texture)

You can finely control which vertices are affected by the warp, and to what extent, using a texture.

Использование

The Warp modifier can be awkward to use sometimes, and its use case is rather small, but there are a few still. For example, it can be used to have an interactive Proportional Editing that can be used for animations.

Another way to use this modifier is similar to the Deform Modifier. This allows you to deform parts of the mesh without having to make a vertex group.
