Within Box
Surfaces within the (undeformed) cyan box are tapered. Surfaces outside the box remain exactly where
they are (they are unaffected).
Unlimited
The entire object is tapered.
Strength
This is the strength of the taper. To change this value interactively, drag the orange handle in the
viewport.
Curvature
This value affects the curvature of the taper. The higher its value, the more curved the taper.
Fillet
If you enable this option, the deformation is softened near the top and bottom.
Twist
This deformer twists an object about its Y-axis. Drag the orange handle on the deformer’s top surface
to control the twist deformation interactively in the viewport.
A deformer can only work with what you give it. If you wish to twist the
recipient smoothly, ensure that it has a sufciently high number of segments/
subdivisions along the twist axis.
Cube with 5x5x5 segments. The same cube with a twist
deformation.
