keeping parametrics animation and adding them specific shaders by polygons
Hello!
i have been wondering this for a while. I would love to do some parametrics animation, such as Slice from tube, or even changing just the size of a cube, but at the same time having control to change some of the polygons with a different materials, for example, selecting them and Set selection and add a material to them.
I tried to bake the object then, but after converting to polygons the mesh loses his parametric animation.
anyone has tried this before?
Many thanks

you can keep the parametric animation by putting a Correction deformer on the object, add a Point Cache tag to the Correction deformer, Store Sate then Calculate in the point cache then you can make the object editable (or current state to object) and move the Point Cache tag from the correction deformer to the editable object.

amazing Brian, it works great. the only thing I would say after doing Current State to object to the parametric object , then I lose the chance later on to modify again ( unless i keep a backup) the parametric animation. Is there any way for keep that?
Many thanks!

Current State to Object does save the original, you’d have to keep that I think. You would have to reapply textures…

You actually don’t need all those steps. Just apply the correction deformer, create the poly selection tags on the deformer (give them unique names), then drag the selection tags onto the primitive object. Now drag the materials onto the primitive and assign the tags.
That gives you polygon selections without having to make anything editable.

it’s been fixed in 16? Excellent!
