Jiggle

MOCCA includes powerful specialized deformers for character animation, including a Jiggle Deformer for easily creating secondary motion without bones or joints. Simply apply the Deformer to an object and you will automatically see the object react with secondary motion. You can refine the effect using vertex maps and parameters for defining stiffness, structural integrity and drag. You can even specify falloff, just as you can with MoGraph Effectors.

Squash and Stretch

The Squash and Stretch Deformer helps animate objects that should adhere to the basic principals of character animation but themselves do not have to be rigged, e.g. a bouncing ball. This Deformer's numerouns settings allow for very accurate control of the object's animation behavior and look, e.g. a bouncing ball will become wider and more flat when it impacts on a surface and will stretch and narrow when repelled.

Cluster

The Cluster Deformer links a point selection or vertex map to another object so a null can be used to transform the points. Because the Cluster Deformer and joints use separate weighting you can easily animate additional areas of a model without adjusting the overall rig. And because it is a separate Deformer it can be applied before or after other Deformers, such as Skin. Clusters can be very useful in facial animation and offer a more consistent workflow in conjunction with other 3D applications.

Point Cache

With the Point Cache Tag and Deformer you can store the results of deformers and simulations such as Cloth and dynamically apply them via the same falloff parameters as the MoGraph Effectors. This allows you to easily deform a simulated mesh or mix between two simulations. Caching the point data also allows you to remove entire rigs and simulations from a scene for faster workflow and more reliability when rendering across a network.
