Shape Correction Limitation / Bug? 2005-04-06 - By Jabbar Raisani
Back
Hello,
I am trying to do some shape correction on an object after is has been animated.
Essentially I want the shape correction to happen after the Envelope Operator.
If I switch to Secondary Shape Modeling mode and move points to make my
correction
everything works great. Now I want to save that correction out as a shape that
is applied
after the envelope op. I can't seem to find a way to get this type of
functionality. If I use
Save Shape Key, the mesh looks the same on the frame that the save shape key was
applied, but not on all of the other frames. I have also tried moving the
Envelope Operator
underneath the Cluster Shape Combiner, but this gives me a different shape that
isn't the
one that I want.
At the bottom of this email is a script that will recreate the situation I am
referring to.
Any Suggestions. Thanks in advance,
-Jabbar
