====== Transform  Deformer ======

{{ :tools:pasted:20210526-133626.png}}

This deformer allows for a mesh to be deformed using a normal transformation (position, rotation, scale), optionally limited by a weight map.

Since deformers can be stacked, multiple Transform Deformers can be applied to different parts of a mesh, separated by weight maps.

===== Controls =====

==== Reference Item ====

This allows you to use an item to define the change in Position, Rotation or Scale.

==== World Coordinates ====

If this is enabled, all transformations will be in world coordinates.

<WRAP center round important >
If a Reference Item is selected, the transformation groups down below will not be available.

==== Weight Map ====

This allows for selecting a weight map which limits the influence of the transformation on a per vertex basis.

Weight maps can also be used to separate parts of a mesh, by setting the respective vertices to 100% while the unrelated ones remain at 0%.
==== Position / Rotation / Scale / Pivot ====

The transformation groups. These allow for fine grained control of which transformation is being applied.

Individual control for them is is not available if World Coordinates is on and a Reference Item has been selected.

=== Controller ===

{{ :tools:pasted:20210526-140639.png}}

This defines how the current transformation group is controlled. This setting is not available if World Coordinates is on and a Reference Item has been selected.

  * **Disable** This transformation group is ignored.
  * **Keyframed** The keyframed values are being used.
  * **Use Item** The values from the selected Reference Items are being used.


=== XYZ/HPB Values ===

The values for the current transformation group. These may be animated using envelopes.
