dFormer field/sphere placement question

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hi,

In a perfect situation, where a character is in A or T pose and center of universe, and you add a dformer, the cloth or object which is within the sphere of influence are 'painted' accordingly. However, if your character if in a lying pose or non center of universe, cloth or object within the sphere of influence are no longer affected and I have to do something non-intuitive like move it in some extreme x/y position to 'paint' the objects. Is there a setting to correct this or I just totally misunderstood the usage?

    If I understand your concern rigth, then you're rigth.

    dFormer will always work on the vertices seen from the basic shape.

    So yes, in my experience it can be a little guessing game.

    The best way as I see it, pose your character, and consider which areas you want effected. Then bring your character back in start pose and set the dFormer field to that area. Then repose your character, and you can then move the dFormer (and hopefully get the result you want)

    Hi,

    Thanks for sharing your experience....I suppose this is a 'feature'. Gotta get used to it then.
