Intro

The Pinch Deformer can be used to sculpt Shapes.

UI

+

Active - enable/ disable the Deformer. This is useful when initially placing the Falloffs for Bind Area and Pinch Point.

Bind Area - the area where the Pinch is active. By default, when you create a Pinch Deformer a called Pinch Binder is added and connected to this attribute. Any shape points falling within this Falloff will be affected with any outside being ignored.

Pinch Point - by default, a called Pinch Mover is created and connected to this attribute when creating a Pinch Deformer. This Null can then be repositioned to 'pinch' the Shape it is deforming.

Example usage:

  1. Create an

  2. Set Radius to W = 300, H = 300.

  3. Uncheck Bezier.

  4. Using the + icon on the Deformer attribute, select Pinch from the list.

  5. Move the Pinch Binder so its centre is over the edge of the Ellipse.

  6. Move the Pinch Mover .

The part of the Ellipse within the Falloff is deformed. Try increasing the size of the Pinch Binder Falloff or adjusting its Falloff Graph.
