The Bone deformation allows you to create a bone-like structure in which each part is solid, but with articulations that are flexible. There are five types of deformers available in Harmony Premium: This can be done easily using the Rigging tool.
Additionally, deformers can be used to tweak, enhance or facilitate frame by frame animation when needed.ĭeformers work by rigging them on the body part you wish to deform, building the deformation structure, then animating it. A cut-out character rigged with deformations can be animated in a way that likens the fluidity and flexibility of traditional animation. Deformations work by creating control points on a drawing and, when you move those points, the drawing is bent or distorted so that the parts of a drawing that are bound to a control point follow that control point wherever you position it.ĭeformers can substantially increase the range of movements and animations a cut-out character rig is able to perform without having to draw new poses for it or resorting to frame-by-frame animation.
Deformers give the ability to animate objects and parts of a character model using computer generated deformations.
