exporting Models with RBD 2005-04-25 - By Sandy Sutherland
Back
Not sure if you can have an envelope on an object with a cage deformer as
you describe - I normally have a 'muscle' object that is enveloped and
parent/constrained to the bone/object that I want to get it's jiggle motion
from , then I add nulls to the points of this object, which I use as
envelope deformers of my skin!
