Wire deformer problem

[wosh-]

Hi there,

Im using a few wires to animate facial expressions, and they work fine when the character is in its initial position.
However, when I move the character around, the wires dont work anymore.. looks like their region of influence is not moving along with the wire curves..
Both the curves and the BaseWire nodes are parented to my character, so they do move along with the rest..
Is there some other influence thingie im not parenting or something?

thanks,
Bas

When you move the character, are you moving a deformer thats translates the object, ei: skeleton, cluster, lattice. If this is the case and you wire deformers are grouped with it, they are really moving away from the base geometry, which is still and its original translation. And therefore lacking any influence

I usualy use wire deformers to model the facial expression but then use the resulting model in a blendshape.
