One or two deformer(s) for x and y angles?

lively

Let's say I have a character will move her head in both X and Y angle:

Option 1:

1 deformer, set motion parameters in Angle X and AngleY

Option 2:
2 deformer, 1 has motion parameters in Angle X only; 1 has motion parameters in Angle Y only, and set one as another one's parent

I wonder which option is preferred?

hi lively. yeah, setting parameters with deformers takes some time to learn, but seeing sample models and how they are built help you understand better.

Hello Lively, personally I use option 1 for head movement 「in this case」,
the result of option 2 and 1 is same, but option 1 make your model cleaner and render lighter.

Thanks curio and Forbesii!

After some trial and error, I also find option 1 is easier to understand/control
