3DS Max - Paint deform not working while using 'show end result' with WSM

Misters

Trying to use paint deform with a camera map world space modifier on top of my stack. Seems buggy i.e. my paint brush disappears. 

I tried with another WSM and had the same issue - any ideas if there is a solution? I need to see the end result of the WSM to see my projected texture.

Try it using the object space version of the same modifier.

The main difference between the world-space version of Camera Map and the object-space version is that, when you move the camera or the object using the object-space version, the object becomes visible, because the UVW coordinates are fixed to the object's local coordinates. When you move the camera or object using the world-space version, the object remains invisible because world coordinates are used instead.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I think that will do the job. Thanks.

...out of interest, would there be a way to get the setup working with the WSM? I like not having to update my projection cam whenever I move my geometry.

Sorry, I'm not aware of any as I would never really use camera mapping in my workflow. WSM modifiers cannot be overridden. That's why they always stay on top of the stack, so I wouldn't have thought so.
