Wire Deformer And Skin Cluster

[shredder]

So I have a character thats using joints and a smoothbind.
I need to use some wire deformers on it also..

Basicly I used a smooth bind, then created a wire deformer, made clusters for all the CVs on the wire, parented them to the joints.
I get double transforms on the deformed geometry.
I have tried many different things and cant seem to find the right combination to get it working.
Is there a good tutorial out there on how to do this without getting the double transforms, or is it just a smiple thing that I am missing?

double transforms are normal appearance of your current setup, because same vertex is driven by both - skinCluster and parented cluster. perhaps try to remove those vertices of parented cluster out from skinCluster..

Well, I got it figured out.. turns out I didnt want to use a wire deformer.. I used a nurbs curve (wire) as an Influence object.
Under the SkinCluster node you have to turn on "Use Components"
then I made the clusters for the CVs and parented them to the joints.

Seems to work perfect

Hello. I have a rig, I used wire deformers for some straps. My problem is that when I rotate the skin cluster,  The wire does not follow. Can you somehow teach what you did with yours?
