Hi, how can I find out if an object is being affected by a deformer or not.

Check this out:
BaseObject* BaseObject::GetDeformCache();
I'd say if it's not NULL, there has been some deformation going on ;-)
Cheers,

While that is correct, GetDeformCache() may return NULL for other reasons (and the object in question still be affected by a deformer) such as cache not yet built.
A better approach might be to see if the object's children are deformers as an additional test:
Bool deformed = (obj->GetDeformCache() != NULL);
if (!deformed)
{
LONG info;
for (BaseObject* child = obj->GetDown(); child; child = child->GetNext())
{
info = child->GetInfo();
if (child->GetDeformMode() && ((info == OBJECT_MODIFIER) || (info == OBJECT_HIERARCHYMODIFIER)))
{
deformed = TRUE;
break;
}
}
}

Thanks all. The only problem with checking for deformers as children is that a deformer can affect it's parent object and the hierarchy below that parent, which means I will have to traverse the whole hierarchy from the top level parent, which I was trying to avoid.
