I'm working with a simple animation showing the compression of air, represented by a particle cloud, created with the particle tool. I create the cloud, then put a lattice around it to deform it.
The problem happens when I set up the cloud and move it into the place it needs to be, then apply the lattice, the lattice refuses to have any influence on the cloud - sometimes. I need about eight clouds with lattices on them, sometimes the lattice works, other times not.
Is there a way, once I've applied a lattice to something, to force Maya to recognize the established connection? Thanks in advance.
