12.4.9 Simple Deform Modifiers
Th e simple deform modifi er deforms a mesh by increasing factor values in the modifi er
and having a second object with an infl uence. To see this modifi er in action, add a UV
sphere in the default scene with a scaled down cube located in the center of the sphere
(Figure 12.72). Switch to wireframe mode and add the simple deform modifi er to the
UV sphere with “Cube” entered as the origin (Figure 12.73). Change the factor value to
see the modifi er applied; select the cube with the RMB and manipulate it on an axis to
deform the sphere (Figure 12.74).
