Blend morph pig (anme file)

Post by **Víctor Paredes** » Sun Jul 31, 2011 5:35 am

Hi, I made this based on a pig from eric goldberg's "Character animation crash course" book. The head turn is made with blend morph. You can download the anme file (v8.1) here:

Thank's for sharing this selgin.

I am working on a head turn and this file could be helpful.

Ha ha! What a great quizzical pig! His left ear snaps back a little at the end, though...(picky, huh?)

neat!

I just discovered blend morphs and am working on some things with it

I like your expression and the art

The Goldberg book is full of amazing drawings like this. Great tracing and morph, especially the front view, which you created, right? As you know, in actual practice, the movement would be an arc, rather than linear.

Thank you for sharing the file, sir!

Thanks, guys.

Hehe, no, I didn't create the front view. It's just the transition between right and left. After making the two actions blend morph (normal and "reflected") I didn't animate anything by hand. All is done with blend morph.

Thanks for the observation. This can easily fixed moving some points in the inbetween. I used this pig to teach some people how to draw in AS and how to make a head turn using blend morph. To keep things simple I didn't animate anything but the blend morph actions (well, I actually moved the layer order keys by hand, but that's all).

It looks very convincing from just two keys. Blend Morphs are certainly very useful. Thanks for posting that and I will have a look at the file later.

Looks good. I couldn't work out how you did the layers correctly, then you wrote "well, I actually moved the layer order keys by hand, but that's all"
