step 1 Step 1

Two spheres and two bones. The extent of the range is shown for each bone, this is drawn as a radius around each end of the bone. The range of bone 1 extends over the whole of sphere 1 but does not influence sphere 2. The range of bone 2 is larger and does extend to cover the sphere around bone 1.

step 2 Step 2

When bone 2 is elongated (by moving node 2) there is a small distortion of the top part of the sphere around bone 1.

step 3 Step 3

When we rotate bone 1, the sphere around it is distorted but the influence does not affect the sphere at the end of bone 2 as it is too far away.

step 4 Step 4

In this example we see the effect of distorting a sphere when all vertices lies within the range of all the bones. (Start)

step 5 Step 5

In this example we see the effect of distorting a sphere when all vertices lies within the range of all the bones, move vertices 1 and 2 (at the end of the bones) together.
