Hi Alex,

Save the scene, preferably with a new version number.

Take your character to the Bind Pose (Weight Tag> Attribute Manager). Use the twirl-down triangle, then click)

Switch the Skin object off.

Set your Joint(s) as you need it 9

Set new Binding pose (Weight Tag> Attribute Manager). Use the twirl-down triangle, then click)

Switch the Skin Object on.

Typically, I encourage to explore this first on a simple setup, a cylinder with a few joints

Cheers

Hi simple-life,

Here are two ways to create this:
https://stcineversityprod02.blob.core.windows.net/$web/Cineversity_Forum_Support/2024_Clips_DRS/20240223_CV4_2024_drs_24_SImg_01-11.zip

The first one uses the surface deformer to place a tiny polygon, a "mesh matrix," in a cloner.
The other file, "11.c4d", makes the abc file "editable" [c] and allows so access to the point data (yes, you asked about this, and file number one doesn't follow this question).

A single point is insufficient here, so I introduce the Target Tag. With three points, preferably from a single polygon, the position is taken, a target, and an Up vector, which allows a stable orientation.

(Perhaps set the XPresso Priority higher, or later in the Object Manager)

Let me know if that works for you.

All the best
