Nonlinear Deformer Attributes

Select one of the following options.

Low Bound

Specifies the lower extent of squashing (or stretching) along the deformer’s local negative Y axis. Use the slider to select values from -10.000 to 0.000. Default is -1.000.

High Bound

Specifies the upper extent of squashing (or stretching) along the deformer’s local positive Y axis. Use the slider to select values from 0.000 to 10.000. Default is 1.000.

Factor

Specifies the amount of squashing or stretching. Increasing negative values specify squashing along deformer’s local Y axis and increasing positive values specify stretching along deformer’s local Y axis. Use the slider to select values from -10.000 to 10.000. Default is 0.000 (no squashing or stretching).

Expand

Specifies the amount of expansion outwards during squashing or inwards during stretching. Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 10. Use the slider to select values from 0.000 to 10.000. Default is 1.000.

Max Expand Position

Specifies the center of maximum expansion between the high bound position and the low bound position. Values can be between 0.010 (near the low bound position) to 0.990 (near the high bound position). Use the slider to select values from 0.010 to 0.990. Default is 0.5. When you set this attribute, the value is reflected in the with the Max Expand Position channel in the Channel Box.

Start Smoothness

Specifies the amount of initial smoothing towards the low bound position (along the deformer’s local negative Y axis). Use the slider to select values from 0.000 to 1.000. Values can be from 0.000 to 1.000. Default is 0.000.

End Smoothness

Specifies the amount of final smoothing towards the high bound position (along the deformer’s local positive Y axis). Use the slider to select values from 0.000 to 1.000. Default is 0.000.
