hey guys, by the looks of google i think i needa plugin. for this movie, i was told i need to make these orbs that are glowing like stars come flying down and morph into human (well angels) i figure for humans ill probably just cheat and use ImageModeler (because its supposed to look as realistic as possible)

what im wondering is, how can i make it so the spheres literally morph into the human?

is there some plugin where basically i select object A and object B and it makes the transition?

Thanks in advance guys.

I haven't tried it with a full figure, but it may work:

- clone your human and apply a Spherefy modifier.
- convert both to editable mesh/poly
- add a morpher modifier to the original and add the sphered one in target 1

it sounds like you need more than one sphere, you need lots of them... you could make your human mesh a particle emitter and have the particles fly away, some clever editing in post will make this look just dandy :)
