## Deformation

### Deformation

Parameter ID: `INPORT_SZUXKT8MDVYPDLM_E2D2IK` · Range: [-100..100%]

If you want to simulate a deformation, this value can be increased. Internally, a Normal effect will be generated using a Noise that is controlled by the Type setting. No real deformation will take place. Small values will disable the respective effect, larger values will strengthen the effect correspondingly.
