Fibric Deform is a deformation node designed to apply animated or simulated mesh transformations to fabric products. The node utilizes UV coordinates from both Fibric products and anim/sim cache and rest just from the cache to precisely wrap the curves.
Beyond basic deformation, Fibric Deform includes advanced features such as tearing that breaks fibers when fabric stretches beyond defined thresholds, width control overrides for fiber customization, procedural noise distortion for organic variation, and the ability to transfer attributes from the animated cache to the deformed Fibric output.
This node serves as a critical bridge between cloth simulation and the Fibric pipeline, enabling CFX and VFX departments to seamlessly integrate simulated dynamics into fiber-level geometry while maintaining full artistic control and customization.

Rest Attribute
Mesh rest attribute.
Scale Mode
Scalar: Scale the rest attribute from a float value.
By Attribute: Scale the rest attribute from a mesh Xform attribute.
Passes attributes from the simulation cache to the deformed Fibric product
Attributes
Attributes to transfer.
Only supported integer, float and vector point attributes.
The "burn" attribute is transferred from the simulation cache to modulate fiber width and shader blending in Karma .
Mesh Subdivide
Subdivisions applied to the input mesh to avoid facet results.
Mesh Subdivide Type
Quads: Forces quads during subdivision.
Triangles: Forces triangles during subdivision.
Breaks fibers when deformation stretches points beyond a defined distance threshold from their rest positions. This non-simulation approach is highly performant and delivers convincing results for most use cases, though it requires the animated cache to exhibit natural tearing behavior for optimal results.
Threshold
The distance tolerance before fibers break during deformation.
