Cage issue....

fattkid

Hey Joe,


Every once in a while, the marmoset cage inflates at a wonky angle, not covering an area of the mesh at all - due to sharp angles on my low res geo - so it completely misses the projection. Offset painting doesn't help because the cage is inflating in the wrong direction....

Is it possible to manually tweak a cage? Or import a custom cage? Or can I somehow change the angle on how the cage inflates?

All I need to do is move 1 vert in a particular direction, to get it to cover the low res mesh, but I can't. I'm curious what my options are - 

Thanks again.

The answers to all of your questions are no, not at this time, but it's possible we may have some sort of solution in the future. This is a problem that can occur at some extreme angles (generally over 90 degrees), and can generally be alleviated by beveling the offending edge.

Coll, thanks for the heads up.

And yeah, it's like you said - it was a greater than 90 degree angle. I'll do a bevel.

Thanks for your time.

I've had the same cage issues and have posted a workaround here, no chamfering/bevels required, hope it helps:
