To simply put it, it is a matrix multiplication error that happened when you try to manipulate the object on a very small scale. Due to this error, certain points on the object is placed wrongly, and when reconstructing the model, it is not what it looks like before you moved it. As far as we know, this only happens
to the magician and the rabbit model.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>Anyways, if you get this error, please do not ignore and continue.
