Space Warps Tab

The space warps found on the Space Warps tab let you warp and mold objects in various ways, either by twisting them physically according to set parameters or applying forces that affect their geometric composition through mathematical calculation of how the forces would deform the objects were they real.

The space warps on the Space Warps tab are: Wave, Bend. Taper, Noise, Twist, Skew, Stretch, Bomb, PBomb, Ripple, Displace, Conform, Gravity, Wind, Motor, Push, Deflector, SDeflector, UDeflector, Path Follow, FFD(Box), and FFD(Cyl).

You'll notice that some of these are duplicates of buttons found on the Particles tab, because these forces can be used to affect particles or applied to other shapes.
