This Deformer was given its name because it can be used to move, rotate or scale an entire cluster of points. First off: This Deformer does nothing more than can also be done using Joints or Skin Objects. However, it is well-suited for adding animations on another layer or to quickly affect a group of points.

这个变形器之所以得名是因为它可以移动、旋转或缩放整个点群。首先: 这个变形器除了可以使用关节或皮肤物体之外什么也不做。然而，它非常适合在另一层添加动画或快速影响一组点。

Even though this object is actually a Deformer, there are a few differences you should take note of.

尽管这个对象实际上是一个 Deformer，但是有一些差异你应该注意。

As with any Deformer, this one can be made a Child of an object in order to deform that object. Cluster differs from other Deformers in that it does not affect all objects with which it is grouped below a Parent Object. If you want the Cluster Deformer to affect multiple objects, all objects must be assigned their own Deformer. If you want to animate multiple selections within an object using Cluster this object must be assigned a Cluster Deformer for each selection.

和任何变形者一样，这个变形者可以变成一个物体的子类，以使该物体变形。集群不同于其他变形程序，因为它不影响与其一起组合在父对象下面的所有对象。如果您希望集群分解器影响多个对象，则必须为所有对象分配它们自己的分解器。如果您想使用集群动画一个对象中的多重选择，必须为每个选择分配一个集群变换器。

If, for example, you want to use the Cluster deformer to raise the left side of the upper lip of the character above, you can proceed as follows:

例如，如果您想使用 Cluster deformer 来抬高上面字符的上唇的左侧，您可以按照以下步骤操作:

• First, select the Points that the Deformer should affect 首先，选择变形者应该影响的点
• Select the 选择Create Cluster 创建集群 command (main menu: 命令(主菜单:Character | Commands 字符 | 命令). This will create a vertex map (and assigned to )。这将创建一个顶点映射(并分配给Points 积分) and a Null object (and assigned to )和一个 Null 对象(并分配给Target 目标).
• Now drag the Null object that was created slightly upward so all Points linked to it will also be moved upward. Now all you have to do is position the top-most Null object correctly in the hierarchy. 现在将创建的 Null 对象向上拖动，这样链接到它的所有点也会向上移动。现在，您需要做的就是在层次结构中正确地定位最顶层的 Null 对象
