[Maya] Inconsistent Blendshape Behavior

bentraje · Jun 2018

Hi,

I'm currently editing a blendshape in Maya. What is weird is whenever I move a vertice, it also move other vertices and I am not on A SOFT SELECTION MODE. It only happens on select vertices.

You can see an illustration here:

First vertice is okay and the succeeding ones are not.

Thank you for your time.

The only thing I can think of offhand is that you have some special constraint set up, like vertex > cluster > other vertex.

Can you post your scene?

sometimes symmetry does such things...

Thanks for the response. After much fiddling, I found out the error. It was because I had nodes that was not deleted as history. For instance, the node at hand is "PolyAverage", so when I move a vert, the node is still calculating.

Makes sense at least. In the future, you typically want a clean mesh before you bind to a skeleton unless you've got something special in mind.
