Hi,

I've taken fredsmith's advice and am having a play with lattices. For those who have experienced frustration with even just associating a lattice with an object:

may enlighten you. Perhaps. The disclaimer stands that these pages are not a tutorial, but rather a blow-by-blow, "here's what I'm doing" sort of thing. Anyone reading it and has a better way, please let me know.

I've noticed that when in object mode, there seems to be an object centre - I'm assuming that it is where the object components are measured from? When I work on this mesh (the dress), the object centre appears to be different from Victoria 3's centre - is that going to present a problem? Anticipating that it might be, I've tried to align the centres so that they are in the same place, just in case.

Also, these lattices. I only want to deform the skirt part of the dress - do I really need to make the lattice completely enclose the mesh of the whole dress?

Cheers,
Robyn
