- --------------------------------------
- In my case I wanted to control the shape and direction of the expanding
- shock wave. (wich you can do in layout, using Size and Stretch) For me, it
- was easyer to deform and see the final shape in modeler. I used a modeler
- macro called load scene to load certain objects from the scene, in there
- Layout orentation. Using the scene in a background layer, I could reshape and
- position the shock wave using modeler's modify tools, and save it out as a
- Morph Target.
