Ok, this is driving me crazy, I'm trying to do a morph between a series
of objects but just can't seem to get it to work! Lets just say I want to
morph a flat plane into a cylinder and the cylinder into a doughnut. Now
I've got all the object made up no problem, the main problem is setting
up the right morph envelopes. The frustrating thing is I've done this
before a year or two ago and I can't remember how I did it.
Ok, here is what I've attempted so far...I'll keep it simple..
Three objects and three key frames (0,30,60) I want to go from the
plane to the cylinder to the doughnut. Here are my envelope values for
each key frame for each object (I've thought this through and in theory
it should work!?!)
Oops, morph targets are as follows,
Plane(obj1) -----> Cylnder(obj2)
Cylnder(obj2) ---> Doughnut(obj3)
Doughnut(obj3) --> Plane(obj1)
Here are the envelope values for each key frame:
Frame 0 (1) Frame 30 Frame 60
Obj1 - 0% Obj1 - 100% Obj1 - 100%
Obj2 - 100% Obj2 - 0% Obj2 - 100%
Obj3 - 100% Obj3 - 100% Obj3 - 0%
So, now where the envelope value is 0% that means the object at that
value is the one that is seen. The problem occurs beween the keyframes.
I start seeing two objects because each oject is not morphing the same way?
Anyway, I how someone can help me out on this. I know the message is
confusing but I've tried to provide all the info nesissary to solve my
problem. Thanks
