View Full Version : Poly/Subdiv Wrap Deformer PROBLEM!

Hey guys.

I was watching the GNOMON dvd on wrap deformers.

He starts off with a subdiv model, then converts to poly at verticles, level0, and show. Then after that command is executed, the poly object is the only thing highlighted and he uses the move tool to separate the new poly model from the old subdiv.

BUT HOW????

This seems to stupid... but I watch him and all he does, after it's created is use the move tool to move it. When I do it, both of the models move together no matter what I do. I've gone to the outliner, selecting the separate surfaces, nothing. I've tried to delete history on everything, nothing. Tried in the hypershade to separate the geometry from the hierarchy by putting it into a new group, nothing. Tried unparenting, "object already child of object error".


What the heck is going on?

Thanks in advance all.

Just a little update:

I believe that I can't "unparent" anything, because what I'm trying to unparent are shape nodes and you can't do that. I think the problem is is that when you do the conversion, both the subdiv and level 0 poly share the same transform node.

"My hierarchy"

SubdivCube1
-subdivCube1Shape (subdiv)
-subdTessShape1 (poly)


and so I think that's why if in the outliner I select 'subdtesshape1' and try to move it away from the subdiv model, that's why it happens.... but how? why? how can you fix it? When they do it on the dvd, he just selects it, and moves it.... please help? :(
