lol!

I think you should specify what you want to know!
As the name says they deform things and you can use them to make uhmmm facial expressions for example.

hey thanks for the answers or compliments or whatever.

I am sorry that i was not very specific in my question.

Actually i have gone through the help before starting the thread. I understood a little.

I understood about some deformers but some are not understandable. One of them are the wave deformers.

I am not able to get the perfect application of the wave deformer or the non linear deformer.

Can u tell something about that or about one or many of its applications.

You can use the wave deformer to create a wave on an object, like what you would get in the ocean. if your not using fluids

Non linears are a bunch of deforemers for modifying objects such as bending them.

Just play about with them as it's easier than trying to explain, each of their properties.
