Details

The morph and skin properties are mutually exclusive. A modifier may exist without either a morph or a skin defined, in which case it may become a data repository and a channel that can be used as input and output for a formula.

For any user-facing morphs, the region should be specified, so that the modifier can display in the interface for regional selection. Skin bindings and corrective morphs usually do not require any user presentation so do not need regions defined for them.

The name attribute may be used by applications to provide another addressing mechanism for nodes in the scene. In object URI’s, if “name” is used as the scheme identifier, then the value of the name attribute is used to look up an item rather than using the id attribute. If the name attribute is missing, applications should use the id attribute in its place wherever needed.
