Quote - You will have noticed the posts by Cage, concerning JCM being stripped out of actors when they are made invisible ('off'). Cage and I have done some tests, and found that slaving the JCM morph to a valueParm, and in turn slaving the valueParm to the rotate channel, cures the problem.
That's excellent news. As I think I've mentioned earlier, some of the JCMs are already implemented like that, and it would be easy to modify the ones that aren't. I think it might also make programs like MorphingClothes cooperate more willingly if JCMs had control parameters (although I haven't tested that yet).
Maybe I should then also apply the usual naming conventions and call the individual targetGeom channels something like 'PBM_JCM_xxxx', whereas the control channel would just be called 'JCM_xxxx'? My first impulse was to skip the 'PBM_' part, but I guess some or all of the available software tools might expect it? Any advise from the enlightened?
