# Generate Cage
```
/**
* Node that generates a cage mesh for deformation.
*
* Creates a low-resolution control cage around the input mesh
* for use with cage-based deformation.
*
* Usage:
* 1. Connect mesh input
* 2. Configure cage density and smoothing
* 3. Click Apply to generate cage
*/
```
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Density
float
| Controls the density of the generated cage mesh; higher values create more detailed cages. |
| SmoothStrength
float
| Determines the strength of the smoothing applied to the cage mesh. |
| SmoothIterations
integer
| Number of smoothing iterations to apply to the cage mesh. |
| BoundingBoxOffset
float
| Offset distance to expand the bounding box around the target mesh. |
