Deformer Updates

The latest additions to Maya deformers

Before and After: The Jiggle deformer with and without GPU and Cached Playback support

Jiggle deformer

The Jiggle deformer has been added to the list of GPU Supported deformers, and Jiggle Deformer is now supported by Cached Playback. These improvements mean better deformation performance.

To try it, check out this interactive demo!

Morph Tangential Damping
A new Tangential Damping slider has been added to the Morph Deformer constraints options in the Attribute Editor to let you adjust the effects created by using the Inward and Outward Morph constraints, which when they have the same value, have a similiar effect as Envelope.
See Morph Deformer constraints options and Create a sliding effect with the Morph deformer.
Morph Retarget options
A new Retarget Morph Mode has been added to the Morph deformer Morph options. See Retarget animation with the Morph Deformer.
Morph Mirror options
A new Mirror Morph Mode has been added to the Morph deformer Morph options to give you an easy way to reflect geometry. See Mirror Geometry with the Morph deformer.
Improved deformer weight visualization
Deformer Weight Visualization has been improved to make it easier to see if geometry or components are selected. Previously, selecting vertices while using weight visualization in the Component Tag options was hard to see.
