      Hi 🙂 I'd like to know if it's possible to use a Field on a Skin Defomer like you can on a Bend Deformer. If not, what method can I use?

        Hi Pitchi,

        Please have a look here:

        I use a reference and the Skin-deformed object and mix both based on the Fields Node. To add more fields, click on the Field Node in XPresso.

        The restriction Tag would be the first idea for deformers, but it doesn't work with the Skin Deformer.

        All the best

            You're very welcome, Pitchi.

            Yes, it should be more straightforward, with a restriction and Weight Tag. However, some options for the Skin object differ from those of a "normal" deformer.
