Hey Stremik

...um.... try again maybe? I've checked your settings and everything looks fine. I did switch a few things to see if it made a difference.

If not, then mail me and I'll see what I can do..

Cheers

Heya Anakin,

I haven't tried it yet, but I looked at it and I'm not sure how to use it, though I think I know what it's supposed to do. Would you mind giving a quick explanation of how to use the Wire Deform SOP? I think I'm going to be wanting to use it very soon. :P

ok, here's the basics:

the setup is similar to the lattice, so you need these ingredients:

polygon surface to be deformed

some curve that doesn't move

attrib create to create a primitive attribute called radiusf on the curves.

same curve, but deformed.

now connect 'em, one two three, and you're up and running!

you can play with the radiusf value to modify the falloff the effect has.

For good fun with the wiredeform:

- try using a NURBs grid for the second and third inputs

- try introducing the scalef prim attribute in the third input and varying that

- try putting down a basis sop in the third input and changing the origin

All this is gonna change soon though as the interface gets cleaned up and not require so much knowledge to setup.

Thanks for the replies. I got it all hooked up like you mentioned Anakin, Poly surface into input one, NURBs curve with radiusf into input 2, deformed curve with radiusf in input 3, but it doesn't seem to work. Infact Houdni 6.1.114 keeps crashing on me whenever I try to do anything with this wiredeformer. Can I trouble someone for a working sample file so I can try to work this out?
