deform_mode

  • OVERWRITE Overwrite – Replace vertex coordinates with cached values.

  • INTEGRATE Integrate – Integrate deformation from this modifier’s input with the mesh-cache coordinates (useful for shape keys).

Type

enum in ['OVERWRITE', 'INTEGRATE'], default "'OVERWRITE'"

eval_factor

Evaluation time in seconds

Type

float in [0, 1], default 0.0

eval_frame

The frame to evaluate (starting at 0)

Type

float in [0, 1.04857e+06], default 0.0

eval_time

Evaluation time in seconds

Type

float in [0, inf], default 0.0

factor

Influence of the deformation

Type

float in [0, 1], default 1.0

filepath

Path to external displacements file

Type

string, default “”, (never None, blend relative // prefix supported)

flip_axis
Type

boolean array of 3 items, default (False, False, False)

forward_axis
Type

enum in Object Axis Items, default "'POS_Y'"

boolean, default False

play_mode

  • SCENE Scene – Use the time from the scene.

  • CUSTOM Custom – Use the modifier’s own time evaluation.

Type

enum in ['SCENE', 'CUSTOM'], default "'SCENE'"

time_mode

Method to control playback time

  • FRAME Frame – Control playback using a frame-number (ignoring time FPS and start frame from the file).

  • TIME Time – Control playback using time in seconds.

  • FACTOR Factor – Control playback using a value between 0 and 1.

Type

enum in ['FRAME', 'TIME', 'FACTOR'], default "'FRAME'"

up_axis
Type

enum in Object Axis Items, default "'POS_Z'"

vertex_group

Name of the Vertex Group which determines the influence of the modifier per point

Type

string, default “”, (never None)
