Hey Ross, this is cool but can those separate joints to be use properly in the game engine? Thank you🙂

hi ross thx for the tutorial, but do you know why my curve deform make the mesh become flat?

You'll need to Freeze Transformations under the Modify menu before using the Cluster Warp.
I know I am a year late, but it might help the next person :)

Genius!

[@gregorweiss4274]

It's under the modeling menu because it's not useful for rigging, the performance is too low unfortunately. It has great in-built features though.

thank god

[@mickbanks68]

YOu did not have to create joints... instead use CLUSTERS .. parent each cluster to a curve point & then create your control rings.. (nurbs circle)
