If the construction history on Mesh B is still live, then the indices of the polygons should be the same as on Mesh A. Otherwise you'll have to resort to using metadata (if already applied) or do something like a get closest location with the meshes aligned the same global pose.

Okay. Say I have two identical meshes (as I've explained before). Mesh A is the original... Mesh B is a copy of mesh A, but it has missing polys (imagine it has holes in it). How could I select on Mesh A the polys that are left on Mesh B? [cid:[email protected]] On 24/10/2013 5:44 PM, Sergio Mucino wrote: 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...

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. gray From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sergio Mucino Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2013 5:22 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: Equivalent to Maya's Wrap Deformer... 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...
