Reshapes a dense mesh by dragging the points of a coarse cage around it.

Reshapes a dense mesh by dragging the points of a coarse cage around it.

Select the node and the cage appears in the viewport with the mesh inside it. Move a cage point and the mesh follows smoothly. This is the tool for broad proportion work like head size or limb length, the kind of change that turns into lumps when you push a high-resolution surface around by hand.
