Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

This node provides the attributes shared in common by all function-based deformer handles such as the nonlinear deformer handles for bend, flare, sine, squash, twist and wave.

The shapes derived from this node serve a dual purpose: The deformerData output of this node should be connected to a node that will call the deformation function, such as the nonLinear deformation node.
