Hi Manny I just did - exported the character and the deformer as obj, reimport and apply cage deform. Same weird deformation. Tried with a simple shaped deformer (a torus) which worked fine, and I noticed something interesting: when I applied the torus as cage deformer the deformed mesh had multicolored weight points and deformed uniformly as expected. When I apply the detailed cage deformer (its a bird with wings) all ppoints on the deformed mesh gets only one weight color and goes wacky shaped. Then I tried applying the cage deformer to a factory Lizard to check the deformed geo - same weird deformation.
So I figured the deformer is dirty somehow and rebuildt it. Started with a simple shape, a crosslike object, the cage deformation worked fine when testing. After detailed modeling to fit the deformer to the shape of the bird, the deformed object (the bird) goes wacky after applying the cage deformer, out in a different way - skewed sideways, and weight colors are again the same. Something is definately funky here - 2013 SP1. - Morten Den 5. december 2013 kl. 17:10 skrev Manny Papamanos <[email protected]>: > > Try exporting/importing it as obj, maybe something on it needs resetting. > > Check the normals on import maybe some things whacky there. > > > > -manny > > > > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Morten > Bartholdy > Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2013 10:29 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Cage deformer acting up > > > > It has been a while since I needed Cage deformers and I am running in to a > weird problem with it today.
