## Object Properties

### Target Object

Parameter ID: `SHRINKWRAP_TARGETOBJECT`

Drag & drop the target object into this link field.

### Mode

Parameter ID: `SHRINKWRAP_MODE`

Here you can choose from three different ways for the source object to be projected onto the target object. There are three options available:

Along Normals

Sends a ray from each point in the **source object** in the direction of the point's normal to see where it hits the target object's surface. How far the point moves towards the position hit is controlled by the **Strength** value.

Target Axis

Sends a ray from each point in the **source object** in the direction of the target's origin to see where it hits the target object's surface. How far the point moves towards the position hit is controlled by the **Strength** value.

Source Axis

Works the same way as **Target Axis**, except the ray is projected through the source object's origin.

### Strength

Parameter ID: `SHRINKWRAP_STRENGTH` · Range: [-∞..+∞%]

Controls the deformer's strength.

### Maximum Distance

Parameter ID: `SHRINKWRAP_MAXDISTANCE` · Range: [0..+∞m]

Here you can limit how far a ray **looks** from the point it's projected from to see if it hits a surface on the target object.

You can also animate the value to create interesting effects. For example, you can make points that are closest to the target move first during the animation, to be followed later by the points that are further away.
