Intro

Connect deformers to create drawing machines or iterative effects like differential growth.

UI

Time - A default connection to the Composition's Time attribute.

Start Frame - The frame at which the solver initialises or resets.

Pre-Roll Iterations - Number of deformer iterations applied to the input geometry for all frames at or before the Start Frame.

Level Mode - These presets set the Level value:

  • Custom... - Manually set a Custom Level.
  • Text (Lines) - Sets a Level value of 1.
  • Text (Words) - Sets a Level value of 2.
