Trumble Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have an object that I'd like to use an FFD modifier on to have it open and close (the shape is basically an umbrella) When I try to wire the FFD to the slider I get this error: "Unable to convert (1.1.1) to type: Float." I understand this is because you can't wire two different types of controllers to each other, my question is, does anyone have any other ideas how I can control the opening/closing without manually animating the control points on the FFD? Any help is appreciated. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M. Gruhn Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Have two copies of object. One open. One closed. Used a morph modifier to mix between them. Slider controls morph amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
