Meshes messed up when deleting vertices

[nabliab]

Can anyone tell me why the vertices are all messed up when I delete them from the meshes?

Because morphs go by vertex indexes. Meaning if you have an array of vertices: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, then delete 5 and 6, your morps for vertices 5 and 6 will be changing 7 and 8 and who knows what 7 and 8 will be changing.

 

Never delete vertices. Instead create a zap slider for them, and set that zap slider to default to zapped.

 

Edit: I suppse you could also redo all morph sliders too.

Thanks I'll research that, I haven't done zap sliders.
