What are really the basic rules for using the wire tool? Is the wire tool is what you guys called Wire deformation? Is it the same thing? It seems that I've done most of the things right....like first pickicg my geometry and press Enter.. then I pick the influence curve and press Enter... But when I try to move each points of that curve to test it out.... it moves very funky like a wave action... I tried to lower the "Dropoff Distance" and it seems to be better.. but am I really doing anything wrong? or is the Wire Tool will give you like a wave action when you try to control the CV's?

Another related question is that, after I move a CV of that influence curve.. and then press UNDO... the shape of the Nurb geometry seem to stay... and only works after 1 or 2 more UNDO... is this normal?

I'm using this Wire Tool for deforming the Lips for the phonemes... Can anyone guide me to use this Wire Tool more intuitively or suggest other better ways to deform the lips or the eyebrow without the Wire Tool?

Anyway.. hope to get some answers soon.. Thanks a lot ..^_^

if you bound your skin via smooth bind, then there is a better way to use wire. check the use influence in the edit smooth skin. then you will have the ability to paint the influence of the wire :)
