Extended Bicubic deform problem…..

[Anonymous]

URGENT!!! Has anyone had THIS problem…

I have created an Extended Bicubic in action. It is a bigger-than-PAL still-frame in a PAL job. I’ve done 1 gmask. I’ve subdivided it once. I’ve deformed it, altering all available nodes. There is one keyframe for each node at the head of the clip.
When I save my settings away, then load them up later, my deform points have shifted.
For the record, I have 2 axes parented to it – the top one tracked to the PAL background, with the second one an offset.

This is happening on Flame 8.3.1.

A quick response would be much appreciated…

Thanks. 😯

Make sure that Shape Channel in the surface menu is turned off at all times. This is a bug in 8.3.x.

Turn off Shape Channel, and you should be fine.

Hmmmm…..
The Shape Channel is off by default and has been all along.
😕 Might anything else be the cause?

there used to be an old bug:

shape channel OFF
save setup
load setup
= ext. bicubic with shiftet or resettet vertices

the workaround was to turn ON shape channel

perhaps this very annoying bug has been reintroduced (can´t doublecheck as we are still on inferno 4.7.4)

You’re right, sorry. Shape Channel has to be ON. Please disregard my last post.

Thanks,

Andy
