Re: Equivalent to Maya's Wrap Deformer...

Looks like I will have a few problems here...

1. I cannot reduce the cage polygon count. Actually, it is a hi-res model (not crazy polygon counts, but still). I need to attach to it a copy of itself, but with lots of polygons deleted. Kinda like attaching polygon patches that need to follow it. So, I'm trying to get a lower-res mesh to follow the high-res

2. The high-res mesh is deforming. It actually has its points set to follow another mesh (another copy) via ICE. The original mesh is the one with all the deformation operators on it (pretty complicated stack of deformations). We don't touch this third mesh... that's why this second high-res has a get/set point positions ICE tree. It's the render mesh.

I'm thinking of a different solution... hold on... I might have something that works...

It's used for a few things, but mostly to keep track of the bind pose so that Softimage knows when a deformer has moved. If it's there it means that at some point you used that object as a deformer. If you're not currently using it as a deformer then you can safely get rid of it, then try to add the object as a cage deformer again. A new property will get created with the current transform values.

There is. All scale components are set to 1, and all Rot/Pos components to 0.
What is this for? I don't think I had seen it before...

 Static_Kinestate property already on the object before
