  attaching objects to a deforming mesh

  Posted by Neil Sanderson on February 8, 2011 at 2:39 am

  does anyone know how to attach objects to a deforming mesh? I’m using morph targets to animate an inflating surface but need a separate object positioned on the surface to move with the deformation. any help would be awesome!

  Hy Neil,

  this is a solution which costs a bit, but it does exactly what you want and … a lot more. The very first component described in the (german) tutorial here shows you how it works.

  If this is too oversized, maybe check-out xsPolyInstance:

  xsPolyInstance should be able to get the job done too. I didn’t use it myself but I think the name already reveals what it will do.

  Cheers,
  André
