Create Tension deformers

Use the Tension deformer to simulate surface tension without squashing and stretching the surface too much. It uses the connectivity between the mesh vertices to preserve the (relative) lengths between them.

To create a Tension deformer:

  1. Select the points or entire object you want to manipulate.
  2. Select Deform > (Create) Tension > .

    The Tension Options appear.

  3. Click the Basic and Advanced tabs and set the creation options.

    See Tension options and Advanced deformer options.
