Synopsis

reorderDeformers( string string selectionList , [name=string])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

reorderDeformers is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

This command changes the order in which 2 deformation nodes affect the output geometry. The first string argument is the name of deformer1, the second is deformer2, followed by the list of objects they deform.

It inserts deformer2 before deformer1. Currently supported deformer nodes include: sculpt, cluster, jointCluster, lattice, wire, jointLattice, boneLattice, blendShape.

Python examples

# Create some geometry to deform
cmds.sphere( name='sphere1' )
cmds.sphere( name='sphere2' )

# Create a couple of deformers
cmds.select( 'sphere1Shape', 'sphere2Shape' )
cmds.sculpt( name='sculpt1' )
cmds.select( 'sphere1Shape', 'sphere2Shape' )
cmds.cluster( name='cluster1' )

# Change their order
cmds.reorderDeformers( 'sculpt1', 'cluster1', 'sphere1Shape', 'sphere2Shape' )
