VEX Deformers (VOP & SOP) [Part 2]
Added 2018-02-10 21:11:49 +0000 UTCApplies deformations such as mountain, path deform, ripple, skew, spherify, stretch, taper, twist, vortex, wave.
Advantages:
1. Much faster performance than older deformers like Twist SOP (2x).
2. More intuitive to use.
3. Unified GUI and workflow.
4. Clear and non-obstructive viewport guides.
5. Ability to use weights.
6. Ability to use world, local and object transforms.
5. SOP deformers use generic low-level VOP deformers at their core, that are much more versatile than their SOP versions.
6. VOP deformers can deform points, particles, pixels, voxels, UVs and any data that represents a 3d coordinate. So you can use these deformers as a processor without creating any explicit geometry.
Video is outdated but shows some basic functionality.
