FriskyCage

Lattice deformation that feels alive. Reshape complex models with intuitive cage controls that deform, bend, and flow with your creativity.

Deformation Superpowers

Everything you need to bend, twist, and reshape your meshes with surgical precision.

📦

Auto Cage Generation

Generate cages instantly with two methods: Grid for structured shapes or Wrap for organic forms. The cage adapts to your mesh like a living lattice.

🔗

Child Object Deformation

Parented items deform naturally with the cage. A hat on a character follows head deformations, inheriting the parent's lattice transformation.

⚖️

Weight Mapping

Use global weight maps to mask deformation areas, or apply per-point weights for surgical precision. Control exactly where the cage bites.

🔄

Symmetry Options

Generate symmetrical cages automatically. Choose X, Y, or Z-axis mirroring to maintain perfect bilateral deformation on characters.

👁️

Visual Feedback

See your cage breathing in the viewport. Customizable wireframes, glowing control points, and optional filled geometry for LWO cages.

IDW Algorithm

Inverse Distance Weighting creates smooth, organic deformation. Points closer to controls are pulled more strongly - just like real lattice physics.

The Deformation Pipeline

From mesh to morphed geometry in six fluid steps.

1

Select Your Mesh

Choose the object you want to deform. The plugin works with any mesh - characters, props, environments.

2

Add FriskyCage

Apply the displacement plugin from Object Properties. The cage system initializes and prepares to wrap around your geometry.

3

Generate The Lattice

Click Auto Cage to spawn a deforming lattice, or load custom LWO geometry. Watch the cage wireframe wrap around your mesh.

4

Include Children

Optionally include parented objects. They'll deform as if fused to the parent's lattice - perfect for clothing and accessories.

5

Adjust The Grid

Fine-tune density, offset distance from surface, and enable symmetry. The cage morphs to match your specifications.

6

Deform & Animate

Move cage control points and watch your mesh flow and reshape. Animate the nulls for procedural deformation effects.
