alan all the time this is how i do it duplicate the mesh twice
1. neutral pose 2. posed where it needs the corrective shape 3. duplicate 2 again create the corrective shape on # 2 mesh. You now have a mesh that is posed, and has the fix applied create the corrective shape on it. you now have 1. neutral pose 2. posed mesh with corrective shape on it 3. pose shape that needs corrective shape now apply the #2 mesh as a shape to the neutral pose mesh, set it to weight of 1 now apply the #3 mesh as a shape to the neutral pose mesh, set it to weight -1 this effectively removes the posing, and leaves only the corrective shape, its just a vector subtraction after all. you now have the corrective shape d On Tue, Jun 18, 2013 at 7:45 AM, Sven Constable <[email protected]>wrote: > Just a sidenote: Mr. Smith, your tutorials are the most charming ones > regarding softimage I saw in the last 15 years.
