This is last series from Nonlinear Deformer series. Wave deformer hardly suited for making animation expanding ring of ripple. To apply wave I recommend that you to apply high resolution object...

Now we will learn about Twist Deformer. Twist is tool which very simple among other nonlinear deformers. Actually I seldom apply twist for modeling or animation. But I have example using twist for modeling and hopefully this example earns good for you.

After you studies Sine Deformer now it’s the time studies Squash Deformer. Same as Sine deformer I have not experience using squash for modeling, so I don’t have modeling tutorial for Squash Deformer.

After studying Bend and Flare Deformer now it’s the moment learning Sine. Differs from Flare Deformer, where I apply Flare just for modeling (has not got idea to apply Flare for animation)...

At this tutorial we will learn how to using Flare Deformer. There are some parameter in Flare Deformer which I will not explain, because I already explains in Part I.

This is the first series out of six series which I plan. Nonlinear Deformers consisted of Bend, Flare, Sine, Squash, Twist, and Wave.

What we're gonna do is make a segment of a tire, make duplicates of this segment, add a Bend deformer and drop the whole package in a HyperNURBS.
