Learn Maya 3D Nonlinear Deformers Part V – Twist Deformer
Page 1 of 2Now 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.
Twist has some attributes, that is:
- Envelope
- Start Angle
- End Angle
- Low Bound
- High Bound
Explanation
Create a cube polygon.

Select the cube and choose twist deformer.

If you set start angle to positive or negative value hence top of cube will become axis (sees picture).

If you set end angle to positive or negative value hence bottom of cube will become axis (sees picture).
