Stretch modifier
The Stretch modifier moves one axis in one direction while moving the other axes in the opposite direction,
like pushing in on opposite sides of a balloon. Stretch parameters include Stretch and Amplify values, a
Stretch Axis, and Limits.
The Stretch value equates the distance the object is pulled, and the Amplify value is a multiplier for the
Stretch value. Positive values multiply the effect, and negative values reduce the stretch effect.
Figure 11.19 shows a Stretch value of 0.2 about the Z-axis applied to the hammer; the middle hammer also
has an Amplify value of 2.0; and the right hammer has an Upper Limit value of 8.
