Re: Problems Keying Polygon Vertices, Vertices do not Key to the Values I assign

Terminator 2 came out long before the mask and ILM certainly didn't keyframe every cv for the t1000. They actually wrote a lot of command line tools that would rebuild uv's, keep 2nd degree stitching, invented patch modeling, almost every modeling/stitching tool that you have easily at your finger tips now in any software ILM had to develop from scratch at one time. Amazing. Anyway, the mask was not keyed using cv keying. Although its very possible some post-fixes might have been made that way. ILM used NURBS back then.

Anyway, If it doesn't work the way you expect and it had in the past chances are you've run into a bug OR you already have deformers or modeling history on your polygon mesh which really can screw with model space transformations on vertices. If it is working differently that a previous version of maya then you should go through correct channels to log a bug report with Autodesk. But in the case of already having modeling history and/or deformations on any geometry that you want to control vertices manually, you'll almost always have to throw a cluster on there to get it to react correctly.
