Hello all,
I’m having an issue with a procedural ribbon deformer I’ve been working on from a tutorial I found. Everything seems to work great in a clean scene where there are no other objects in the scene. However, if I try to use the wire tool to apply a wire deformer inside a saved scene, that has objects in it already, it will appear to execute but the object I’m applying the wire deformer to won’t deform no mater how much I translate the curve or any of it’s vertices. I had thought it was part of a script I was working on to automate the creation of the ribbon deformer but I tried to manually apply a wire deformer to quickly generated nurbs surfaces using EP curves in various scenes and had the same result. Works find in the clean file but won’t do squat in the saved file with existing objects. I can’t find any conflicting inputs in the node editor and all the settings seem to be the same after following the same steps in different scene files and looking at them side by side… The only thing that works is to create the wire deformer in a clean scene, save it out and then import it into the scene I want it in… but that is cumbersome and annoying if I want the wire deformer to be specifically tailored to a particular model.
Anyone run into this issue and have a fix? or have a tidbit of information that I am simply not understanding about the wire tool? Any help appreciated
