Deformers (Like the reject Transformers: polygons in disguise)

There are six different deformers in maya: Bend, Flare, Sine, Squash, Twist, and Wave. 

Bend 


Bend curves the shape or bend it exactly as the name suggests. 

Flare

Flare takes the shape and will stretch it and turn / twist it also.

Sine

Sine will make your shape become squiggles. The best expression I can think of to explain this tool.  you can have loose squiggles or more drastic squi
ggles by adjusting the wavelength to a lower one.

Squash

You  would think that the squash tool would squash it but it actually pulled on the shape and pinched it in certain places.

Twist

The shape was twisted by a certain degrees and could be expanded at the top using the envelope tool.




Wave

This tool takes what ever shape is in its affected area and will push or pull it according to the set "wave lengths" below or above the shape.

Multiple deformers practice.
