animating a flower

[Undead Fred]

Do you mean, like grow from a small flower to a big flower, or have a full-grown rose open up and spread its petals out? I can think of ways that might work for either one... at least that would get you started.

yes, i mean to grow a flower from buds. i am not getting even closer to it. do you have any solution or any method that may bering the realism in th eanimation?


thanks in advance for your response.

I did one once where I used lots of blendshapes for each stage of the petals unfolding. Kind of treating each blendshape as a key.

Then used a fractal noise deformer on the final animation to get a random / organic feeling.

thanks steveblake, i'll try to use that. i dont think any better ways for that animation than using blend shapes. that still can go much further than other methods
