Shape jump on enveloping...

Shape jump on enveloping...

It's not sure fire but it works 90% of the time...
Just mute the envelope op, then with the enveloped object selected
Animate>Deform>Envelope>select deformers from envelope.
Then just use Animate>Deform>Envelope>Set reference poses.... I used to use
this all the time, but for some reason I had forgotten about it... oh well
fixed my problem nicely.

Hope this helps.

and that obvious was.....:)
I get that problem sometimes, usually because the mesh is not in the exact
position it was emveloped in (Greating a good Rest Pose mixer clip can solve
this) or because the mesh has moved from it's origional spot (Usually 0,0,0
on all translations).

If you have found a sure fire, ipso-facto way of fixing the problem every
time, I'd love to hear it!

Tar,

Jamie

Never mind, sorted it out... just had to have the obvious pointed out to me
by a colleague....

Hi All,

I'm currently adding some new envelope meshes into an old character for an
up coming project, and I'm getting that classic shape change as soon as I
envelope the object off of the old bones and stuff, does anyone know of a
sure fire way of avoiding this ... I can go in and mess with the static kine
state on the deformers but then it effects the old enveloped object as well,
but they are still good so I don't want to mess with that ... any ideas,

Thanks in advance....
Matt.
