This node represents the handle by which a softMod's transformations can be manipulated. It is primarily just a way of selecting the softMod in the scene, though it also stores the transformation information needed for the softMod's deformation.

weightedNode (wn) Message n/a inputconnectable
This attribute is connected to the weighted node (ie. the one to which the softMod percentages are applied), if one was specified. Otherwise, the transform node above this node is the one to which the percentages are applied.
