Hi There,

I have a model that has different facial expressions but they are stored in seperate objects.

Is it possible to align these together then morph from one to the other to create some talking animation?

I have found how to do it by manipulating the single mesh object, but not how to morph from one seperate object to another.

See below an example of what i have:

Im guessing if I had these all at the same position I could use some kind of morph between them?

Thanks for any help in advance.

do you have mocca?

if yes then its quite simple add a morph tag you your master object, delete the empty morph target. thens elect all your copies of the head and drag them into the link box in the morph tag. it will ask if you want to make relative morphs with a yes no cancel choice. yes will store the delta's of each target in the morph tag and you can delete your copies. No will create links to each mesh so you have to keep the meshes but they can easily be tweaked, cancel stopps the process.

Why not get CDIKTools by Cactus Dan? Fantastic set of tools and if you ever get into CA, it's a wonderful and powerful alternative to MOCCA module. CHEAPER TOO...:thumbsup:
