Model Scaling Distortion Help!

Model Scaling Distortion Help!

It's really tough to do without seeing what you have - do you have any
constraints setup? Do you have 'affected by scaling' checked on in their PPGs?

If you're scaling the model node - I wouldn't suggest it. Here is a quick
representation of the top nulls for my normal rig setup:
All the meshes live in a flat hierachy under the 'meshes' null. I never parent
geometry into a rig. If you prefer you can also put them directly under the
ScalingFactor - if the setup is good it all works.

 Hello, I seem to have problems replying on here so I'm going to try again.
 I just wanted to comment that I didn't have VOLume on and that UNIform was
 on.  And I used the scale funtion of "X" to scale the model yet with chains
 in the model and other objects I still get distortion.

 Please Help
