Generate Modifiers These modifiers are used to generate or alter the geometry of objects. 1. Array - Duplicates the object along a specified axis, creating a grid of instances. 2. Bevel - Rounds the edges of an object, creating smooth bevels or chamfers. 3. Boolean - Performs operations between two objects: Union, Difference, or Intersect. 4. Build - Makes the object appear in a progressive build-up, useful for animations. 5. Decimate - Reduces the number of polygons, useful for optimizing high-poly models. 6. Edge Split - Splits edges based on angle or marked sharp edges to create a flat-shaded effect. 7. Mask - Hides or reveals parts of an object based on a vertex group or another object's influence. 8. Mirror - Mirrors the geometry across an axis to create symmetrical models. 9. Multiresolution - Adds multiple levels of subdivision for sculpting at various levels of detail. 10. Remesh - Rebuilds the topology of the mesh to create a uniform grid of quads, useful for sculpting. 11. Screw - Rotates a profile object around an axis, creating screw-like or helical shapes. 12. Skin - Generates a wireframe skeleton based on vertices and edges, useful for creating quick base meshes. 13. Solidify - Adds thickness to thin objects like planes or surfaces. 14. Subdivision Surface - Subdivides the mesh to smooth it, commonly used in high-poly modeling. 15. Triangulate - Converts all faces in the mesh into triangles. 16. Weld - Merges vertices that are close together, useful for cleaning up meshes. 17. Wireframe - Converts the mesh into a wireframe version, turning edges into a network of tubes. Deform Modifiers These modifiers change the shape or structure of the object without altering its geometry fundamentally. 1. Armature - Deforms the mesh using an armature (skeleton) for character rigging. 2. Cast - Deforms the object into a basic shape: Sphere, Cylinder, or Cube. 3. Curve - Deforms the object along a curve, useful for creating bendy or flowy shapes. 4. Displace - Displaces the vertices of the object based on a texture or procedural map. 5. Hook - Moves or deforms parts of a mesh based on another object’s transformation. 6. Laplacian Deform - Smoothly deforms a mesh while preserving the general shape of the object. 7. Lattice - Deforms the mesh using a lattice structure, allowing for complex deformations. 8. Mesh Deform - Deforms a mesh using a simpler mesh cage around it, ideal for complex deformations like cloth. 9. Shrinkwrap - Projects an object onto the surface of another object, useful for making clothing or decals. 10. Simple Deform - Offers four types of deformations: Twist, Bend, Taper, and Stretch. 11. Smooth - Smooths the mesh by averaging the positions of the vertices. 12. Corrective Smooth - Smooths deformations caused by other modifiers like Armature, useful for character rigging. 13. Warp - Deforms an object between two target objects, useful for special effects or animation. 14. Wave - Creates a wave deformation based on procedural wave settings, ideal for water or ripple effects. Physics Modifiers These modifiers are used to give physical behavior to objects, allowing for dynamic simulations. 1. Cloth - Simulates cloth behavior, including folds, wrinkles, and collisions with other objects. 2. Collision - Enables the object to interact with other physics simulations (e.g., particles, cloth, soft body). 3. Dynamic Paint - Turns the object into a canvas or brush, allowing it to interact with other objects and create paint-like effects. 4. Explode - Breaks apart a mesh into particles, simulating an explosion. 5. Fluid - Simulates fluids like water or gas, allowing the object to behave like a liquid. 6. Ocean - Generates an ocean surface with realistic waves and displacement maps. 7. Particle Instance - Generates instances of an object on particle systems. 8. Particle System - Adds a particle system to the object, which can emit particles like smoke, sparks, or water droplets. 9. Soft Body - Simulates soft, deformable objects like jelly or cloth. 10. Surface Deform - Deforms the surface of a mesh based on another object's surface, ideal for animation or wrapping. 11. Fluid (Mantaflow) - Mantaflow fluid simulation, a newer, more advanced system for liquids and smoke in Blender. 12. Rigid Body - Enables rigid body physics for realistic collisions and interactions with other rigid bodies. Simulation Modifiers Blender's simulation system allows for complex physical interactions between objects. 1. Dynamic Paint Canvas - Converts an object into a canvas for dynamic paint simulation. 2. Dynamic Paint Brush - Converts an object into a brush for interacting with dynamic paint canvases. Experimental/Utility Modifiers These modifiers offer advanced or utility functions. 1. Mesh Cache - Applies mesh data from external files for simulations or animations. 2. Mesh Sequence Cache - Similar to Mesh Cache, but works with a sequence of mesh files (e.g., from Alembic). 3. UV Project - Projects UV coordinates onto the object based on another object, useful for advanced UV mapping techniques. 4. UV Warp - Deforms UV coordinates by the transformation of an object, allowing dynamic texture warping. 5. Vertex Weight Edit - Modifies vertex group weights through various operations, used for adjusting deformations or physics. 6. Vertex Weight Mix - Combines vertex weights from multiple vertex groups. 7. Vertex Weight Proximity - Adjusts vertex group weights based on proximity to another object. 8. Weld - Merges vertices that are close together to reduce the number of vertices and clean up the mesh. 9. Weighted Normal - Adjusts the normals of an object to produce better shading results, particularly useful for hard-surface models.
