Spherizer deformer question - Polyloop

Shonner · 7th August 2004, 09:24

When using the spherizer deformer in Amapi Pro 7.15, shouldn't I be able to use the SPACEBAR to select the axis I wan't to deform an object on? The SPACEBAR does nothing and clicking on an axis icon with the mouse does highlight the axis icon but doesn't actually change anything.

It's not a bug, the global modificator Spherizer only spherize, no more option (only a value and radius)
The axis are here because of the other options where they are needed (twist, bend, etc..)
Perhaps the axis should be unclicable when you select an option which doesn't use them.

Perhaps then the Spherizer should only be an option available to sphere objects, since you can't tell it which axis to use when trying to spherize cylinders, rectangles, triangles, and unique objects. For now, the spherizer seems pointless.

It works on all kind of objects, but as it is names, it spherized.. you can still use the scale tool with a constraint if you need to change something along an axis, no ?
Do you have an exemple ?

How do I spherize using the horizontal axis? I'm stuck with only a vertical axis. Using the Scale Tool doesn't get the spherizing I'm looking for.

Feature still wasn't fixed in Amapi Pro 7.5.
