Deformers

LEARNING TARGETS:

» I can apply non-linear deformers to objects for modeling purposes

 

EXPECTATIONS:

» Create a basic set-up 3 cubes with heavy divisions to allow bending and save as base-model
» Apply each non-linear deformer individually, post in your blog, and describe what each deformer does.     ***You should have SIX images in your blog, demonstrating each of the deformers
» Create TWO  “VERY COOL” models, “stacking” deformers, each model should have multiple deformers

Create 3 Cubes with HEAVY divisions in all three axis (X, Y, Z).  Go to history (Inputs) for the cube and change the cubes sub-divisions and height.

 

 

Combine cubes MESH > Combine.

Create SIX models applying SIX different deformers, Bend, Flare, Sine, Squash, Twist, and Wave.
Switch to the Animation Menu Set {F2}
Select the combined object and apply a deformer. Create Deformers > Non-Linear Deformers > Bend  for example.

Save each model and take a screen shot for each. Write a brief description of each deformer.

Then create TWO more models applying multiple deformers to different shapes.
Make sure you add tons of divisions to objects that you make.
Save all models and take a screen shots.
Post each on your blog.

You should have 7 images in your blog.

Here is an example of multiple deformers:
