Hi everyone, I'm getting a really annoying problem when I rotate my model for my animation. For some reason, if I rotate in certain ways, it will reshape the image slightly. I don't have a clue why it's doing it and how to fix it. It's holding me back from continuing the project. Is there a way of making a model solid so it can't morph in any way? or is this a common problem that might be a bug or something? I thought I'd provide a picture so everyone can clearly see what's going wrong.
Thanks

the problem sounds like you have non-uniformscaled and object in your hierachy somewhere - to fix - dont ever non-uniform scale anything at object level . to fix in the current scene you can look for the non uniform scaled object and reset its xform(you may have to unlink everything from it first).
