Hi,

I’m trying to link attributes of a face or vertex of one object to another using mel. I can easily link the full object by using this simple script:

pSphere1.translateX = pSolid2.translateX

or

pSphere1.rotateX = pSolid2.rotateX

SIMPLE! But when I try doing it with one of the FACES or vertices such as:

pSphere1.f[46].translateX = pSolid2.rotateX

Is this possible to do with a polygon or even nurb?

The final goal is to have the translation of multiple locators affect the shape of one object by setting each locator to a different face or vertices.

Been struggling with this one for weeks now.

Thanks!
Matt

Components don’t have transform attributes. You can provide them by creating a cluster, which iyou can think of as a transform node for a set of components. [Animation] Create Deformers->Cluster

You can do what you want, jut not in the way you imagined. You really need to give up on the idea that a face or a vertex has a transform attribute. vertices only have positions, that’s all. Anything else doesn’t exist, so you must create it yourself somehow. There is no parenting of faces or vertices, ONLY transforms can do that, and you do have access to those, though clusters.
