5 NodeGroups!! and 2 BONUS simplify deformers that help in performance!

I have created these advanced deformers to use in geometry nodes that work the same as traditional modifiers and, in some cases, are better than these. I recreate these modifiers with Geometry Nodes to be able to use them in my daily work in an easy way with Geometry Nodes.

Bend Deformer:

Twist Deformer:

Taper Deformer:

Stretch Deformer:

Shrink Warp Deformer:

One of the advanced functions that allow these nodes is to use custom geometry to define deformation falloffs.

An example of Twist Deformer:

Nodes (11/12/22):

Update 11/12/22:

- Fixed ShrinkWarp parameters, now works as expected.
- Updated Naming conventions of All nodes.
- Blend file with AssetBrowser of that nodes ready.

Requirements:

Blender 3.3 and above.

Disclaimer: The tool was tested only with the official 3.3 stable version.

Important Note

You must first add sufficient subdivisions for your object, otherwise, the nodes may not work correctly. You can either add a Subdivision Surface modifier before the geometry node or add a Mesh Subdivide node in the geometry node with an appropriate level selected. If something does not work correctly for an object, please verify whether you have added enough subdivisions for that object.
