Modifiers

Modifiers are automatic operations that affect an object in a non-destructive way. With modifiers, you can perform many effects automatically that would be otherwise tedious to do manually (such as subdivision surfaces) and without affecting the base topology of your object.

Modifiers work by changing how an object is displayed and rendered, but not the actual object geometry.

You can add several modifiers to a single object to form a Modifier Stack and you can Apply a modifier if you wish to make its changes permanent.

Modifiers type

There are four types of modifiers: Modify, Generate, Deform and Simulate.

Modify

The Modify group of modifiers are tools a bit similar to Transform ones, but which do not directly affect the shape of the object, rather some other data like vertex groups…

UV Project	Project UV coordinates on your mesh
Vertex Weight	Edit a vertex group of your mesh, in various ways

Generate

The Generate group of modifiers are constructive tools that either changes the general appearance of or automatically adds new geometry to an object.

Array	Create an array out of your basic mesh and similar (repeating) shapes
Bevel	Create a bevel on a selected mesh object
Boolean	Combine/subtract/intersect your mesh with another one
Build	Assemble your mesh step by step when animating
Decimate	Reduce the polygon count of your mesh
Edge Split	Add sharp edges to your mesh
Mask	Allows you to hide some parts of your mesh
Mirror	Mirror an object about one of its own axis, so that the resultant mesh is symmetrical, and you only have to model/edit half, a fourth or a eighth of it
Multiresolution	Sculpt your mesh at several levels of resolution
Remesh	Generating new mesh topology based on an input surface
Screw	Generate geometry in a helix-pattern from a simple profile. Similar to the Screw tool in the mesh editing context.
Skin	Automatically generated topology
Solidify	Give a depth to mesh faces
Subdivision Surface	Smooth the surface by creating interpolated geometry
Triangulate	Ensures consistent triangulation, especially useful for bump map baking

Deform

The Deform group of modifiers only change the shape of an object, and are available for meshes, and often texts, curves, surfaces and/or lattices.

Armature	Use bones to deform and animate your object
Cast	Shift the shape of a mesh, surface or lattice to a sphere, cylinder or cuboid
Curve	Bend your object using a curve as guide
Displace	Deform your object using a texture
Hook	Add a hook to your vertice(s) (or control point(s)) to manipulate them from the outside
Laplacian Smooth	Reduce noise on a mesh's surface with minimal changes to its shape
Lattice	Use a Lattice object to deform your object
Mesh Deform	Allows you to deform your object by modifying the shape of another mesh, used as a “Mesh Deform Cage” (like when using a lattice)
Shrinkwrap	Allows you to shrink/wrap your object to/around the surface of a target mesh object.
Simple Deform	Applies some advanced deformations to your object
Smooth	Smooth the geometry of a mesh. Similar to the Smooth tool in the mesh editing context
Warp	Warp a mesh by specifying two points the mesh stretches between
Wave	Deform your object to form (animated) waves

Simulate

The Simulate group of modifiers activate simulations. In most cases, these modifiers are automatically added to the modifiers stack whenever a Particle System or Physics simulation is enabled and their only role is to define the place in the modifiers stack used as base data by the tool they represent. Generally, the attributes of these modifiers are accessible in separate panels.

Cloth	Simulates the properties of a piece of cloth. It is inserted in the modifier stack when you designate a mesh as Cloth
Collision	Simulate a collision between objects
Dynamic Paint	Make an object or a particle system paint a material onto another object
Explode	Blow up your mesh using a particle system
Fluid Simulation	The object is part of a fluid simulation… Modifier added when you designate a mesh as Fluid
Ocean	Quickly create a realistic, animated ocean
Particle Instance	Make an object act similar to a particle but using the mesh shape instead
Particle System	Represents a particle system in the stack, so it is inserted when you add a particle system to the object
Smoke	Simulate realistic smoke
Soft Body	The object is soft, elasticated… Modifier added when you designate a mesh as Softbody
