Thanks for a Great Semester













You've been a great class,
I have never seen such a variety of work
as in your final projects.

You all just missed Jon by a few minutes
He baked 3 pizzas at his wifes 'Ledo Pizza'
on Old Annapolis Road in Hanover MD
and rushed them to class for us.

How to morph


One thing that I found a little differcult was creating a morph animation. So the teacher gave me this from the book.

To create a morph animation:

1. Create a seed object and some target objects for morphing

2. Select the seed object

3. From the Create/Geometry drop-down list,choose Compound Objects>Morph Targets list

4. Click Pick Target, nd choose a method for creating targets from your originals: Reference, Move,Copy, or Instance.

5. Click the morph target objects in the viewports.

6. Highlight the next targetto which you want to morph the seed object.

7. Drag the time slider to the frame number or time where you want to set the first morph animation key. Note that it is not necessary to turn on the Auto Key button.

8. Click Create Morph Key.

9. To preview the animation, srub the time slider back and forth. The seed object automatically

10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 until you are finished.
