yes its true and hey guys!

ok i got model in the works which is morph animated - only thing is that when its in the previewer its animation is as spazzy as a coke can in a paint mixer.

anyone got any ideas on how to stop my mesh from acting spazzy?

FYI i allready tried the educator tutorial idea of reseting xform and it do nout!

Very Happy

Is the entire mesh moving away from position or the vertices are just breaking off from each other collapsing the entire mesh ?

These are the two things I generally see happening .. For 1st case reset xform works but for the other I have to relink and do everything again .. cause its an error of the target itself ...

hmmm tot i fixed ur morph issue.

ok.
remember what i told u.
always do a test export.

k... after u exported the .xmf load it in the previewer.

go create a testing xpf by animating something on the morpher.
export the xpf and load it in.

does it animate right?

if yes, then import ur saved animation (yea tat xaf file tat u know Wink)and see if it works right.

if it doesn't then u need to redo the animation.

Remember remember. always make a short test. don't animate so much to later find out it'll fail to export. This is particularly so for Morphs which are a pain to redo.

at least bipeds have .bip files to depend back on.

skype me if u need more help.

on using Xform.
this is what i always do for modeling:

after a model is completed. to play safe i will always xform it.
if i intend to make morphs from it. i will xform it first. then clone out.
i will make sure not to accidentally delete vertices

tat's all.

Xform is basically to reset the model in layman terms

Make sure that when you export the parent mesh, you do not have any morpher stack cranked up as that is what will happen.
