Displace Grid With MagnetSOP
To displace specific parts or vertices of SOP shapes, you can use a combination of the MetaballSOP
and the ForceSOP
. The MetaballSOP
acts as a magnet, and by adjusting its position, you determine the area of influence on the base shape. When connected to the ForceSOP
, the vertices in the specified area are displaced according to the Metaball's position and strength, creating a controlled deformation effect.

An interesting effect happens when we add a SphereSOP
with a noiseSOP
at the beginning of the metaballSOP
.
It generates a more fluent and organic displace then just a static surface.
