>>Greetings,
Doesn't seem to really work. Are the twist deformers tied to the local
axis of the pivot point? If so can I rotate the local pivot points and
trick the twist deformer into doing a second twist on another axis?
I know I can move the pivot point by pressing the <insert> key but I
haven't found a way to rotating the local pivot points in maya 7 is this
possible?
What I would do If I could rotate the local pivot points without
effecting the object.
1) Create torus with twist deformer
2) delete history
3) rotate pivot point without effecting the torus (change local axis by
rotating it is this possible?)
4) Create another twist deformer.
and it would look like this at least in theory.
