  1. You can use a Lattice, Curve or Armature.

  2. Sorry, no idea what you’re talking about.

  1. F9 buttons, Modifiers tab, each modifier has an ‘Apply’ button.

  2. The FrameOffSet is a Yafray button, the Depth is Blender.

No, nothing to do with Python. What do you mean by “after subdividing”?

I can’t get those error messages. Lattice deformation is applied to a cube and a SubSurfed cube without error. Post a .blend if you can.

i couldn’t apply them first…thought maybe more segments r needed…so subdivided a cylinder into 4 part…but the modifier gives me the error described earlier…
