Re: Animating Freeform Mesh Distortion back to default

Hi Kevin,

The bundled version of FreeForm will not respect user deformations when you change the number of rows and columns. Instead it will snap back to a flat shape. FreeForm Pro does... this is just one of the many things we added to FreeForm Pro.

In your case, you had set 1 row x 2 columns. Default is 2 x 2, so when you reset to get back to a flat shape from your funnel shape, you also reset it to 2 x 2. The trick is to reset and then immediately adjust the rows and columns to 1 x 2. This will respect and create the animation between the flat shape and the funnel because both keyframes now have the same number of rows and columns. As you see in the project file I sent you, this now works.

HTH
