Distort Animation Channels
 
 
 

The Distort module includes channels for the Blend value as well as for all the Axis nodes in the schematic. Each spline in the effect contains a shape channel, with its vertex information, and an offset channel. As well, each spline contains a correspondence points channel containing point location information. All these channels are in the Morph folder in the Channel Editor.

When splines are linked, two additional channels appear under the Input1 spline's folder in the Channel Editor: an Interpolation channel corresponding to the value in the Interpolation field for the pair of linked spline nodes, and an interpShape channel. The interpShape channel contains the vertex information for the interpolated spline, which is the destination of the morph.
