Basically, everything below is moderately irrelevant. I'm wondering if I can create three rotation controls for a single nonlinear twist deformer, wherein I would have one control for each end and another to independently twist the center. A default twist deformer only has one modifier for each end.
I want to twist a thing.
But the default twist deformer only twists two ends of the thing.
I can create two deformers on the same object, giving it a Twist1 and Twist2 Node.
This creates two start angles and two end angles: twist1.start angle (T1S), twist1.end angle(T1E) and twist2.start angle (T2S), twist2.end angle (T2S); the center two are adjacent: T1E/T2S.
I connect T1E and T2S to a single control curve's X rotation axis.
When I twist T1S and T2E (the outermost twist controls) it works just fine.
When I twist the center two, however, the entire object rotates with it.
I have tried workarounds where I've ignored T1E and T2S (the center two) and created a wire deformer square that deforms the center, but this leaves me with some wobble in the flexiplane.
That's the circumstance. I can provide pics if needed.
Any help at all is appreciated.
Thanks!
