Tapers and/or flares geometry.

This is a replacement operator for the “taper” mode of the Twist SOP.

  • A taper deformation applied to the Stanford Bunny.

Parameters

Upper Taper

Scale of the taper operation at the top of the deforming region.

Lower Taper

Scale of the taper operation at the bottom of the deforming region.

Taper Gain

Standard gain modifier for the taper operation.

Taper Bias

Standard bias modifier for the taper operation.

Note

The bias modifier is not self-symmetric, so you might want to flip the deformer to achieve certain deformations.

Flare Factor

The amount of additive flare somewhere between the two taper ends.

Flare Position

The position of the flare.

Ease Flare In

Ease of the flare in the middle. If its 1 the flare is smooth.

Ease Flare Out

Ease of the flare im the two endpoints of the deformer. If its 1 then the flare starts smoothly.

Flare Bias

Standard bias modifier for the flare. It can be used two 'weight' the flare’s distribution.
