What is a Lattice Modifier in Blender?

A Lattice Modifier in Blender is a tool used to deform a mesh by applying a lattice structure around it, allowing for non-destructive editing and shape alterations. The Lattice Modifier provides a flexible way to reshape or tweak the geometry of a model without directly modifying the original mesh, making it ideal for both subtle adjustments and dramatic transformations.

Use Cases in Blender

• Character Modeling: Lattice Modifiers are often used to fine-tune character models, allowing artists to make adjustments to proportions or poses without affecting the underlying mesh topology.

• Animation: In animation, Lattice Modifiers can be used to create squash-and-stretch effects or other deformations that enhance the expressiveness of characters or objects.

• Product Design: For product visualization, the Lattice Modifier can be used to adjust the shape of models to meet specific design requirements or to create variations.
