Morphing V4

vindazi

USing V4 on a Mac, how doe one animate the morphing from one character type to another, or example, from young to old? Is there a video tutorial on this?

The morph animation is the same as any other morph animation. Is the issue you are running into adjusting the materials? That's less straightforward, though if you have older and younger textures that could look like the same figure you could do it in Shader Mixer.

Thanks.

I am trying to use the "Aged V4" material. I understood these were "morphs". Perhaps I have misunderstood what morphs mean.

Can you direct me to tutorials on morphing animations and shader mixing?

The set includes both morphs (easy to animate, just set the values as you would any other property) and materials (not so easy to animate, though there have been threads discussing the issue).

I got the face to change, but I can't find a way to change the whole character. How do I do that?

As I recall the morphs in the set are for the head and hands only.

You are correct I think it may have a Bent body morph as well, but the Age is only applied to face, neck and hands. Not sure on the Bent body shape, I own way to many Age products to keep them all straight in my head.
