Hi,

I'm trying to drive a set of higher res curves with a set of lower res curves using a wiredeform. The wirecapture node is initialized and creates capsules of influence that look correct, but when I go to the wiredeform node, I get this error:

wiredeform error Missing ‘wirecapt’ point float attribute from input geometry.

and nothing is displayed. Any ideas what step I am missing?

Thanks,

Adnan

Thanks for the reply Michael. I have created a test file, as I can't send the original to illustrate the point. Please let me know your thoughts. In my other file, the wirecapture node did ceate envelopes around the curves..

I scaled the whole things down and removed the more crazy deformation on the sphere
I also unpacked the curves.abc

Thanks Michael! I needed the unpack after importing my alembic files. That was the issue. Now, on to refining wiredeformer settings.
