If it wasn't obvious, I was talking about the case of rigged characters
very far away, not icosohedrons. I was responding to Sandy's comment
about a mesh appearing turbulent when really far from the world center.
I've seen that in rigs all the time.

Renormalizing envelope weights? I have an icosohedron, a very big one.
Actually my repro of the problem was on a clean scene, objects at the
origin.

In my experience the meshes usually look good again (at that
distance) after renormalizing the envelope weights. Did you try
that already?

I have had geometry issues with models not too far from origin -
when subd set to anything above o - then the geometry looks like
organge peel and when played back the peel moves like
turbulance! Not sure of this threshold, but I must say Softimage
does not like stuff too far away!

*Subject:* Scene scale effecting bumpmaps
Hi All,
I have a scene that came from Max, the scale is pretty big, ie I
have an object 1500 units away from the origin (so not that big).
But I'm having real problems with bumpmaps being generated on
that object (using cell scalar nodes). Everything was fine, then
I added an icosohedron scaled to surround everything, and my
bumpmaps have gone very strange. I've tried freezing scale,
different types of textures for the bump input, but it all ends
up going weird.
Is there anything obvious about scene size (distance from origin)
and bumpmaps I need to know?
Thanks
Chris
