Transpose Curve Deformation

The TransPose Action Line can now bend only the portion of your surface that is located between the two furthest circles of the action line.

Begin by applying an Action line. Make sure that you are in Move mode. Next, hold the ALT key and drag the Action Line’s center circle to bend surface. While moving your cursor the Action Line will be temporarily hidden so that you can clearly visually see and control the deformation.

Quickly deform your models with the TransPose line. The deformation is controlled by the position of the TransPose line and its Curve settings.


The deformation is modulated by the Brush curve settings, located in the Brush palette.

Transpose Smart Masking

The TransPose Smart Masking feature must be selected in the Brush palette and doesn’t have the same behavior as the default TransPose Action Line as it is used to create a Mask based on the object’s curvature.

Smart Masking easily detects areas of the model by analyzing its surface.


To use it, simply hold the Ctrl key while dragging the Action Line. A short TransPose line will have a low detection of the surface’s curvature, perfect for small areas and complex shapes. A long TransPose line will have a higher tolerance, making it the best solution for large areas with distinct borders.

You can combine different Masks in the same action by pressing the Shift key to add a Mask to the previously created one. Like with all Mask operations, you can use the ALT key to unMask the existing Mask.


Note about TransPose brushes:

When selecting a new TransPose Brush mode (like TransPose Smart) it becomes the default TransPose mode and will be reactivated any time you return to TransPose until such time as you select a new TransPose Brush mode.
