  • [Addon] [Godot4] DeformableMesh - Let's deform some mesh!

Hi all!
I would like to share my second addon to the Godot Community.

It's called DeformableMesh and it allows to deform 3D meshes using customizable deformers at run-time and in the editor.
In this version you can deform meshes using spherical deformers nodes.

Hi all,

I've updated my DeformableMesh addon.
It allows you to deform your meshes with a stack of customizable deformers directly in the editor. Now you can bend, twist, taper or use the spherical deformers of the first version.

So I wanted to share it with you guys.

    kuligs2 Don't worry, you can create your own deformers with the DeformableMesh add-on.

    Create a script that extends the DM_Deformer class and override just these two methods: _on_begin_update() and _on_update_vertex().

    I'll be happy to include your fancy deformers in the next version (if they work, obviously 😄)

        cloudofoz i will try to play with this, this is cool !!! Im getting many ideas on how to use this 😃 from creepy crawling bugs under the skin like in the first Mummy movie, to character crawling under the carpet 😃

            kuligs2 I'm glad you like it and very curious to see some work that uses my add-on! For example I know that the first version was used to create craters on the terrain after an explosion.

            I added an example scene, downloadable from the repository, for those who want to have an idea of how it works.

                cloudofoz unfortunately it dont work on my end 🙁... thorws me errors

                  Meshes must contain a vertex array, an index array, or both
  servers/rendering/renderer_rd/storage_rd/mesh_storage.cpp:567 - Index (uint32_t)p_surface = 0 is out of bounds (mesh->surface_count = 0).

  servers/rendering_server.cpp:1262 - Mesh created without vertex array. This mesh will not be visible with the default shader. If using an empty vertex array is intentional, create the mesh with the ARRAY_FLAG_USES_EMPTY_VERTEX_ARRAY flag to silence this error.
