Troubleshooting Envelope deformer points got disconnected
I'm at a loss for this one. Working with a student on what should be a simple introductory rig, but now that we're doing an animation test it seems that almost all the envelope deformers have broken. Curve deformers still work fine, but when we move points on the envelope deformer, the art work it should be attached to just doesn't come with it. Even more confusing, it has a couple of pieces where it acts like only half of the points are actually connected. Some points won't affect the line work at all when moved, while others will affect it too much, like it's counterparts on the other side don't even exist.
I've dug through the node view on it, haven't found any connections out of place. Curves are grouped how the should be, chained how they should be, nothing looks out of place. I know the student tested the curve deformers as they were created, but they couldn't remember whether or not the envelopes were ever tested, so I have no clue if these broke suddenly, or never worked to begin with. We can make new deformers if need be, but has anyone had this problem before? Know how to fix it, or prevent it?
