RE: adding shapes to a referenced model

It’s an  inherited setup, but it’s something I’d advise against.

Nesting referenced models? Isn't that one of the cardinal sins of xsi? Or have recent versions become more stable?

Yeah, all checked.

 

What it could be, though, is that the mesh that's not keeping it's shape is nested in a reference model within the reference model. Which would mean I'd need to modify the nested referenced model's master.

 

It shouldn't let you do that though, I don't think.

Have you checked "Local Mods to Save - Anim Mixer"?

Subject: adding shapes to a referenced model

 

Anyone have a workaround to this:

 

I'm working in a scene with a referenced model and I need to add some shape to it. So I go back to the master model in a new XSI and create a couple of new shapes. Now when I load the original scene back into XSI there's no new shape clip in there. So then I save the shape out as a preset and load it into the scene. Fine, that works. Until I reload the scene. The shape's on the track but it's having no effect on the model.

 

I don't believe it's not possible to add shapes to reference models. Anyone?

 

Cheers.
