Flow Path Object Problem

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hey all,

 

I am trying to animate a train in one of the tutorials I found on the net.

 

After creating the lattice with the Flow Path Object command, and setting the Outside Lattice to: All.

 

I get the first image.

 

But when trying to play or move the animation the train disappears.

I am left with the lattice wiring and the path.

 

Am i doing anything wrong, is it a bug or due to my hardware (potato) constrictions?Untitled1.pngUntitled.png

 

The whole point of the Flow Path Object in this exercise for me is to learn how the animation reacts at every frame.

Not so nice when I cannot see it.

Hi!

 

The scene works fine here, i can't see any problems.

 

This might be indeed a problem with your graphic card, so i suggest:

1. Make sure you use a proper 3D graphic card for Maya.
2. Update graphic card drivers.
3. Try different Viewport modes (like DirectX).

 

4. Update Maya 2018 to Maya 2018 update 1.
