About Blender software
● Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D
pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion
tracking, even video editing and game creation.https://www.blender.org/

Lattice
●
Lattice – or commonly called deformation cage outside of
Blender. A lattice consists of a three-dimensional non-ren-
derable grid of vertices. Its main use is to apply a deforma-
tion to the object it controls with a Lattice Modifier. If the ob-
ject is parented with Lattice Deform a Lattice Modifier is au-
tomatically applied.

Lattice / Editing
Flip (Distortion Free)
● Mirrors the vertices displacement from their base position.
● U, V, W
Make Regular
● Resets the whole lattice to a regular grid, where the cells are scaled
to one cubic Blender Unit.
