Maya Deformers

David Wakelin · Nov 2012

Hi Guys,

sounds really silly; but where do i find the deformers to bend/lattice etc in maya. Simply cant find them anywhere in 2013 version; ive trawled the help file, but to be honest i just cant see it anywhere on my shelf; i may have to reset to factory settings :O!

thats great and i can apply these to a mesh i.e. a bend deformer to get more complex shapes right? even tho its in the animation shelf...

im looking for deformers similar to that within maya, "bend" modifier etc.

you can use them for anything you want. if its just for modelling purposes, simply delete the history on the object once you've gotten the desired shape and it will remain that way
