There have been a few improvements to how the deformers can be manipulated. This makes deformation easier and more functional. Below you can find the new manipulation improvements.

Feature Description
Mixed Manipulation Mode

The new Mixed Manipulation Mode button, available in the Transform tool properties, allows the manipulation of multiple selections and combinations of Curve Deformers, Free Form Deformers, Drawings and Pegs together using the Transform Tool.

When the Mixed Manipulation Mode button is enabled in the Transform Tool Properties, the bounding box manipulator allows you to perform scale, move, rotate and skew operations on all the selected elements together.

You can create selections using a lasso or marquee selection, or by pressing SHIFT and selecting the elements.
Nudging Deformer Points using the Rigging tool The Rigging tool now allows for nudging deformer points using the arrow keys. This results in precise positioning of points while creating deformers.
Deformer Manipulator Improvements

The deformer manipulator that can be enabled using the Show Manipulator button in the Deformation toolbar has the following improvements:

  • It is now possible to skew a selection of deformer points by clicking and dragging on the edges of the manipulator box. Selecting all the points and skewing them produces the same result as when skewing a parent peg.
  • New handles are available on the sides of the manipulator box to scale a selection of deformer points on a single axis.
  • Holding the Shift key while scaling with a corner handle will scale the deformer proportionally.
  • The Deformer Manipulator's position no longer resets after each rotation.
  • The Deformer Manipulator's pivot will now follow when moving points.
