Morph with dif. amount of points -possible?

[Tudor]

It is possible...
Not possible to morph between object with different point count, but you can use MD_Metaplugg to morph an object along another with a different polycount.

huh??? How could we do it?
:thumbsup:

Well.. MD_metaplugg is basically like a lattice..
One mesh drives the other.
So you can deform one object with another. You can use it for example as having a really tweaked skinned low poly characcter driving the points on a high poly object..
Some ppl also use it to speed up playback of animated characters by replacing the skeleton setup with a MD file.

What you do is save out the deformation as a MDD file, then apply that MDD file on another object..

Thanks Tudor :)

Very interesting, I think maybe I know what you're saying. Haven't really used the MD_metaplug though so it will be a challenge. Thanks a lot, this can help me make some really cool SFX explosions and other deformations. ;) Mycke kul.


Cheers, gotta go.

Don't thank me. Thank SplineGod! :)
He's the one that illustrated this 1st..
There are some threads here about how to do this.
