I've got a large Mickey head "wreath" that I made, which is essentially three circles. I was trying to figure out how to animate it in Nutcracker. I could do it with three separate wreaths, but it wouldn't match the node order, unless I custom cut the strings.
Also, it doesn't seem like it's possible to make the custom model grid bigger, so it's really a pain to even try to "draw" Mickey.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok, well nevermind. I found a somewhat easier way. I did it in Excel first and then copied it over to the Nutcracker grid.
I actually got the idea from Sean's tutorial video. He mentioned that the custom grid looks "Excel-like", and LIGHT BULB.

cool, I am going to try that also.

Just shrink the cells down. I just highlighted everything and resized the columns to 1.5. Then I drew the shape out with x's first. Once I liked the shape, I went back in and numbered it for the nodes.
Then just make the custom grid the same size (width and height) in nutcracker, copy and paste.

thank you for sharing. I will try it tonight.

Got a screen print or two to show how this looks? Have a hard time picturing this.
