Deformer video

So heres the animation i did using deformers. The original shape is actually a torus that's been scaled up a bit. The deformers that are most prevalent are the flare and the twist, which give it a sort of tornado effect. theres also a squash in there that makes it look taller. As it moves along the deformer, the effect works on what ever shape is on it, which gives it its properties, and can make for some very interesting designs.
