Blend Shape Attributes

Origin

Specifies whether the blend shape is relative to the base object shape’s position, rotation, and scale, or is directly specified by you. Select from the following options.

World

Blends the base object shape to the target object shape(s), taking into account any differences in position, rotation, and scale between the target object shape(s).

NoteThe local and world selections are identical to the Origin creation option’s selections. For more information, see Create Deformers > Blend Shape. However, the User attribute is not one of the Origin creation option’s selections.
Local

Blends the base object shape to the target object shape(s) while ignoring differences in position, rotation, and scale between the target shape(s).

User

Specifies that two special attributes, baseOrigin and targetOrigin, provide origin information. For more information on these attributes, see the online Node and Attribute Reference and the MEL Command reference. You can use the setAttr MEL command to set the values of the baseOrigin and targetOrigin attributes.

Weight

Target

Specifies the influence value, or weight, of the named target. A value of 0.000 specifies that the target has no influence; a value of 1.000 specifies that the target has maximum influence. For each named target, use the slider to select values from 0.000 to 1.000.

NoteThese target Weight sliders correspond to those in the Blend Shape Editor.
Support Negative Weights

When on, you can enter negative weight values for a blend shape deformer. When off, the minimum weight value is 0 and negative values are not supported. This option is off by default.

Deformer Attributes

Envelope

Specifies the deformation scale factor. Use slider to select values from 0.000 to 1.000. You can also enter values from -2.000 to 2.000. A value of 2.000 would double the overall deformation effect. A negative value inverts the effect. Default is 1.000.

Node Behavior

See General deformer node attributes.

Extra Attributes

No extra attributes by default.
