Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

This node provides the attributes common to all deformations. Deformations can deform multiple pieces of input geometry (or component parts of geometry). Each distinct piece of input geometry (or part thereof) has an associated output.

This is a mapping of single 32 bit indices to 64 bit values. Currently only used where a 64 bit value is needed to uniquely specify a vertex, which is rare. For most objects whose vertices are 32 bit values, such as NURBS curves, NURBS surfaces, poly meshes, and lattices, this attribute is empty.
