For most World-Space modifiers, there is also an Object-Space version. Object-Space modifiers are more numerous than World-Space modifiers. If you view the modifiers listed in the Modifier List, they are divided into two categories: Object-Space and World-Space modifiers (except for the selected set of modifiers that appear at the very top for quick access). Object-Space versus World-Space modifiers This chapter covers the Selection Modifiers, Parametric Deformers, and FFD modifiers. For example, you can learn about the Mesh Editing modifiers in Chapter 16, 'Deforming Surfaces and Using the Mesh Modifiers' animation modifiers in Chapter 31, 'Using Animation Modifiers and Wiring Parameters' the UV Coordinates modifiers in Chapter 24, 'Unwrapping UVs and Pelt Mapping' and so on. Instead, I decided to cover most of the modifiers in their respective chapters. The modifiers contained within the selected set appear at the very top of the Modifier List.Ĭovering all the modifiers in a single chapter would result in a very long chapter. The selected set is marked with an arrow to the left of its name. Within this list is a single selected set. You can find roughly these same sets if you click the Configure Modifier Sets button in the Modifier Stack.

To keep all the various modifiers organized, Max has grouped them into several distinct modifier sets.
