Hi, I opened VTK file from registration in paraview and created a glyph and export the txt file which was for deformation field. Does anyone know that the last three columns show the deformed points or I have to apply first 3 columns to the other columns to get the final points?

I am confused. I don’t know what you mean by a “deformation field.”
The `Glyph` filter creates a shape around each point in your VTK file. These shapes have their own points. The last 3 columns of the txt file you wrote out shows all the points for the new shapes.

Those must come from the field data of the VTK file you first loaded into ParaView.
