Headwax: Not a lot of people seem to go for morphing... which really is a better way to animate rather than using bones all the time, however even with morphs sometimes they can be unpredictable!!.... I still hav`nt got to grips with that morphenvy!!.....perhaps they steer away from them having to insert  nouughts and ones all over the timeline!

Rellik420: Hiding points in point mode would be a very nice addition to the program (possible Steve??) but you can`t do that at the moment I used to use a program called Sculpt4D that had that facility and it was very useful

ok a question about morphing. i get the concept but im not sure how it works with anim8or. u make your morphs and in scene mode u import it to the timeline.(i would guess). say u morph the face only. would the current "pose" of ur model stay the same when u insert the morphs? or do u have to re-pose your model when u use your morphs? i havent tried it yet im still on the modeling part.

you dont have to import it to scene it should be there. then you give it a # value in either plus or minus. and yes your pose will be the same. to get a better understanding of morphs try this; make a cube, build>morph targets>new it should say morph01. allways remember to name your stuff but for now that will work. now select one point and move it only on the X axis. now go to scene add your object (not talking down to you i just dont know how much you know)open your timeline your object should have a plus by it open and find morph01, in frame 0 give it a value of 0. in frame lets say 24 give it a value of 1. it should look like what you created in object editor. now go to frame 48 and give it a value of 10 it will move 10 times the distance you moved it. now go to 72 and give it a value of -10. it will move 10 time the opisite direction you moved it. now play with that for a while.

mak gives the correct sequence, however I would`nt give any value higher than 1 as it can have an adverse effect on the morph ....I would just give values of 0 (being off) and 1 (on)

[rellik420]

so u can set 2 or more morphs on one keyframe right? that way i can morph the lips and the brow and so forth seperately, so i can make more diverse facial movements. kinda mix and match them when needed. ive seen rigs for faces b4 for diff programs. i know its not availible for anim8or. unless maybe u can go through opengl. but i think the way its set up works just fine.
