Freezing points in PLA animation
I modeled a polygonal object and created two PLA keys to morph one shape to another. When modeling the second shape I seem to have selected several points by mistake and moved them around accidentially. Those points should have the same position they have in the first PLA key. Is there a way to select several points in the first shape key and freeze them to override the modifications on those points in the second PLA key?
I thought that maybe creating a cluster might help but it didn’t. I think I am missing something obvious here.Thanks,
Peter

You could use a morph deformer (or deformerS) to remove the deformation fromt the unintended points. You might then want to do a current state to object and use the result as a new morph target. That would allow you to dispense with the deformer. Once you freeze the deformation you can drag the object into your morph tag and it will create a new morph slider for it.
If it’s just a few points you could also do it manually by recording the point positions of the undeformed points (structure manager) and resetting them by hand.

Thanks for the tip, Adam. I decided to do it by hand, since it weren’t that many points. I remember that there was a very easy way to do this in Softimage|3D using a simple cluster and I thought it might be that easy in Cinema 4D as well.
