This addon allows to deform 3D meshes using a stack of customizable deformers at run-time


Main features

Use the default deformers:

  • SphericalDeformer
  • StandardDeformer ( Bend, Twist and Taper )

or easily create your owns by extending the base class and overriding just a couple of methods (a tutorial will be available).

Getting Started

  1. Download the repository or download the stable addon (v1.0, soon to be replaced) from the AssetLib in Godot (link).

  2. Import the addons folder into your project.

  3. Activate DeformableMesh under Project > Project Settings > Plugins.

  1. Add a deformer node to the scene.

  1. Add a DeformableMeshInstance3D node to the scene.

  1. Set the mesh resource you want to deform in the Original Mesh property.

  1. Link the deformer node you created before to the list of Deformers that will affect this mesh in the property panel.

  1. Tweak the deformer properties to achieve the desired result.

Example Project

  1. You can download here an example project that shows the basic functionalities of DeformableMesh.
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Import the project with Godot Engine 4+
  4. Open the scene dm_example_scene_v030.tscn (if it's not already opened)

You can now try tweaking the deformer parameters. Some effects are also controlled by the positions and the rotations of the deformer nodes.

DeformableMesh can apply multiple deformers like in a stack, so the order is important to achieve the correct effect. You need also to specify the correct deformation axis (for some effects like bending, but it's not important with spherical deformers).
