Video tutorial Working with Blend Morph

Post by Víctor Paredes »

Hi, I just made a video tutorial based on the character of this thread. It's about using Blend Morph and lasts around eight minutes.
I start from the base you know how to create an action, so actually I don't explain basics things, just Blend Morph.
(Blend Morph are actions of one frame, you can check the user manual for actions here).

The tutorial is in English, but my pronunciation is very poor, so I recommend you to active the youtube subtitles (they were absolutely rewrote by me, so you won't found much weirdness).

Here is the link. thanks for watching.

Thanks for posting this! It is a great opportunity for AS5 users like myself to see blend morphs in action. Plus you have a cool accent. :D

Thank you guys :D, I just thought that blend morph is a really cool feature which haven't been covered enough on forum.
About my fine english and my "cool" accent, well, I feel like Fidel Castro talking in english :oops:

Yeah, I know, I decided to avoid all the tool explanations and go directly to blend morph, the tutorial is assuming you domain the way AS works. I think beginners must understand a lot of things before actions and blend morph and there is a bunch of tutorials for that.

hehe, I don't think there be a "correct" way, but at least for me this one works very well and produces complex animation easily.

I always trying to use best of both binding worlds. For this specific case (and many other) manual binding works fine.

Blend morph is fantastic, but remember in the video there is a very basic use of it. Blend morph can blend anything which have keys (curvature, color, width, translation, bones angles, scale, layer transparency...), so you can have a very complex character with a lot of layers inside and control all them just using the blend morph bars once. Just fantastic.

Thanks Selgin for another great tutorial. It's a great help, because for me trying to understand these things is a little bit like when I tried to wire my house.
With these tutorials making 3d turns becomes possible.
