"Link with orientation " question 2004-05-19 - By Rob Wuijster
Back
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I did in the end, after
wondering why my shapes didn't do their thang in the animation.
Link with orientation looks like an easy shortcut, but the manual way of
doing this is by far the most predictable.
Maybe v4 will behave a little bit more nicely with this stuff.
Cheers,

Subject: Re: "Link with orientation" question
I've also had problems with multiple link with orientation keys where
points would shoot off in space. Maybe reordering the stack might help
you. Or make sure all "link with orientation" keys are off of one
cluster.
In order to get greater control, I wound up doing shape animation linked
with an expression to the rotation of the bone.... which is what "link
with orientation" is supposed to do in the first place! If you have a
character that is already enveloped you might get some erratic behavior
still. I think it's the way xsi tries to average out the deformations.
Hopefully this is all fixed in 4.0.
