RBF Deformer

RBF Deformer: Reshapes a mesh by dropping a few control points on it and dragging them, with the surface falling away smoothly around each one.
Landmarks to RBF Points: Turns a set of landmarks into control points the RBF Deformer can drag.

When to use it

Reshapes a mesh from a handful of control points. Select the node, click on the mesh to drop points where you want a handle, then drag them. The surface between them follows smoothly, so a few points move a lot of mesh.

Points you place are written back to the Controls pin, so they survive a save and you can reuse them. Landmarks to RBF Points builds a set from landmarks instead of by hand.

Pins

InputsOutputs

Pin	Type	Description
`Mesh`	Mesh	The mesh to reshape.
`Controls`	RBF Points	Control points to start with. The tool saves the ones you place here too, so they come back next time.
`Reference`	Mesh	Optional mesh drawn in the viewport to eyeball the result against. Nothing happens to it.

Pin	Type	Description
`Mesh`	Mesh	The reshaped mesh.
`Controls`	RBF Points	Passes the control points along to the next node.

Landmarks to RBF Points

Converts landmark pairs into RBF control points, which is how a handful of hand-placed anchors becomes a smooth deformation across the whole surface through the RBF Deformer.

When to use it

Converts landmark pairs into RBF control points, which is how a handful of hand-placed anchors becomes a smooth deformation across the whole surface through the RBF Deformer.

What you get is a soft global warp. If you want the template to land on the target surface rather than be pulled toward it, Non-Rigid Fit is the node.

Side exists for symmetric meshes. Left or Right takes only that half's landmarks, which is what you want when the other half will be mirrored rather than solved.

Pins

InputsOutputs

Pin	Type	Description
`Landmarks`	Landmarks	The landmarks to convert. Splines give up their control points only, not the points sampled along them.

Pin	Type	Description
`Controls`	RBF Points	One control point per landmark, on the side you picked.

Settings

Setting	Type	Description
`Side`	Choice	Which half of each landmark pair to take. Left gives you the source point, Right gives you the matching target point.
