Deform Pro: Mesh Deformation Tool For 2.9+

Note: Was previously named “Shapeshift PRO”.

DeformPRO is a tool developed to make mesh deformation more dynamic and user-friendly in Blender 2.9

When using the addon, you are provided with two Tools:

Dynamic Lattice and Surface Constraints Tools:

I noticed how tedious it can be deforming your objects using a Lattice, so I managed to make it work in Object mode by creating a Dynamic Lattice, lattice points which let you manipulate its target point.

Lattice points are managed well in order to increase workflow. Adding a hook point after point and having to do it all over when changing u,v,w values is a time-consuming task. DeformPRO simplifies that process.

Surface Constraint generator:

This operator allows you to add surface deformation constraints by using its click & drag feature, allowing you to deform your assets using a Laplacian Based Method. Simply enable Surface Constraint modal, & follow controls located in the bottom header. You can click on the surface of your mesh & drag for deformation proximity.

Features:

•     Add Dynamic Lattice/ Surface Deformation Constraints
•     uvwMode: Set single value to all paramaters(u,v,w(grid))
•     DeformMode: easy lattice point selection
•     Point display type/ size
•     Add dynamic lattice after applying
•     Apply as ShapeKey(name prior to applying)
•     Constraint size
•     Adaptive Deformation(enable laplacian based deformation, otherwise by target proximity)

Plans for v2:

•     New ShapeKey system(SurfaceConstraint shapekey support)
•     Lattice from selection(Editmode, Dynamic)
