How to adjust and rotate the vertex's pivot of editable polygon

Anonymous — Sat, 13 Jun 2020 02:16:07 GMT

I'm currently doing a lipsync animation project but there's a problem with my pivot. I think I need to rotate the pivot so that I can move the vertex smoothly without crumpling the skin of the model.

Actually, it looks like you may have more than the 8 vertices in the upper corners of the mouth selected which may be causing the "wrinkling" when you move the vertices up. Check that you only have the vertices selected you intend to move as any others could distort the geometry.

To answer your question about adjusting the pivot however, do the following:

1. Right click on the mesh and select "Place Pivot Surface" from the menu. The cursor will change into a transform gizmo.

2. Move your cursor (Transform Gizmo) to the front surface you are trying to align to and left click on it.

3. Select the check box to enable this Working Pivot. Now when you go back to the vertex subobject mode you can move the vertices along any of the axis of the working pivot.
