operator deformation
Applies a deformation by spine, which causes objects and/or clusters to be deformed in response to the deformations of one or more curves.
oReturn = ApplyDeformBySpine( ConnectionSet, [ConstructionMode] ); |
Returns the Object Name of the newly created Spine WeightMap operator(s).
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ConnectionSet | ConnectionSet | Specifies the objects connected to an operator. The first group of the ConnectionSet contains vertex based objects. The second group of the ConnectionSet contains NURBS curve objects. See Operator Presets for details on the connection set required for this operator. |
| ConstructionMode | siConstructionMode | The mode indicating the purpose of the deformations.
Default Value: Current construction mode. |
