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:
- Select the points or entire object you want to manipulate.
- Select
Deform > (Create) Tension
>
.
The Tension Options appear.
- Click the
Basic and
Advanced tabs and set the creation options.
See Tension options and Advanced deformer options.
Tip: If you want to create a falloff (or ramp effect) for this deformer, so that the results of the deformation decrease or drop off after a specified distance, use
Component Tags. See
Create deformer falloffs.
