Hey chaps! A little help if there's any going spare please! :)

I referenced in a model, which has 2 models within it! character.emdl
This contains hi and low res bits and bobs.

When I tried to envelope the low res polygons in one of the enclosed model spaces I got a message asking if i want to turn on local save, new properties, which I did.

However the enveloping doesn't work. I don't get the "max bones per point" dialog and the skeleton does not move the geometry.

The rig is the XSI one and made from scratch after importing hte referenced model.

Thanks for any help guys and gals! :)

Rich!

You can't envelope objects in a ref model. Instead open the model locally, envelope it and reexport it so it come enveloped when loaded as ref model.


Cheers
