Title: Sub models
Post by: t.jo13t on December 07, 2016, 07:38:10 PM

Just curious if there is a bug in the submodel setup.  Attached is a pic. Showing what is happening . The model is 200 pixels broke into 4 sections at 50 pixels each. When I put a curtain effect on the model set at center it works fine on the right side ( looking at the picture view) but the left side is applying the curtain effect also starting at pixel 50 and 51. I have tried rendering it , wiping the model out. And remaking it but no change. Just thought I would try setting up sub models. Cannot figure out how to insert pics

Thankyou Joe

Are all your strings oriented with green on the left or bottom in the layout?

Tried to insert photos again, but must be tablet wont allow me to. But to answer you question, the string direction is correct. That has nothing to do with sub models. As I stated the curtain effect set to open from the middle  at node 101 the right side opens as it should but the left side starts open  at nodes 50 to 51 right and left side. It should start open at node 100 and go to the left just like the right side

I can't see what you are really doing.  Creating sub-models should have no effects on any effects you place at the model level.  They are only for putting an effect on the sub-model.  So what are you showing us is it one effect at the model level?  Have you experimented with the different render styles?

I will try different render modes. But as I said the center ( front ) string is the problem. Its splitting in 2 gdiffernt places instead of 1 using sub models first time using them
