Subject: "Gimbel Locked(?)" Prop


fls13 ( ) posted Wed, 05 February 2003 at 1:09 PM ยท edited Mon, 20 January 2025 at 11:25 AM

I've modeled a prop and loaded morph targets into it. The morph dials do not move although I can type in a specific number to morph the prop. Is that what's called "gimbel locked," and regardless, what can I do to make the dials work properly? I've monkeyed plenty with the sensitivity settings.

No, this isn't Gimbal Lock. GL has to do with the three rotation axes, not morphs. Save the PP2 with the morphs, then take a look in the PP2 file and see if you can find lines that say "static 1" under each morph. If so, change to "static 0". See if that helps. (I don't know that it will, but this is at least closer to the problem.)

Will do ASAP. Thanks.

They already said "static 0," so I didn't edit the PP2, although jacking the sensitivity dials to 1000.000 helps some. :O)

I wonder if the morph deltas themselves are just extremely small. If that's the case, you could crank things up (by entering figures in the blank) to the shape that you consider to be fully morphed, then export the OBJ file, checking the "As Morph Target" box. Take this new OBJ back in as your morph, and see if that helps.

Okey-doke. Thanks again for your help.
