Shear Modifier

The Shear modifier lets produce a uniform offset in an object's geometry. You can control the amount and direction of the shear. You can also limit the shear to a section of the geometry

Properties of Shear Modifier

Size X Size of affected area in X direction
Size Y Size of affected area in Y direction
Size Z Size of affected area in Z direction
Affected Area Mode of modification:
  • Limited - Modifications are limited to vertices inside of affected area, but rest vertices are transformed to achieve smooth transition between parts in affected and unaffected areas.
  • Unlimited - The entire object is sheared
  • Within Box - Modifications are limited to vertices inside of affected area, rest vertices are not affected.
Strength Defines the strength of deformation.
Angle Defines the direction of deformation. 0° is the deformer’s main axis.
Curvature This value defines the curvature of the shear modifier.
Main Axis Defines the main axis deformation.
Enabled Enable or disable modifier. When disabled, it works like regular group and does not affect children objects.
