Hey Paul, Were you able to locate some people for those animation positions you advertised a while ago? I hope things work out well for you on that project. > Sounds like you've got alot of work ahead of you. Too much work, actually. This is the third 3D Studio program I've built in the last month or so. It's OK though, I like to keep busy. <g> > So you can simply go from one form to another without worrying about manipulating vertices? No vertex manipulation is necessary if all you're doing is moving the blobs relative to each other. The blobs are simply recalculated to reflect the changes in position and they adapt accordingly. You can even change the sizes of the blobs from frame to frame and have that change reflected as well. Actually, morphing dynamic blobs in 3D Studio would be next to impossible since you are contrained to an equal number of vertices for each morph target. Dynamic blobs have a tendancy to change the number of vertices used in thier contruction as they change shape. I don't see why blobs couldn't be used for character generation. It would take a little getting used to, though. The way blobby objects are defined is quite different from the way 3DSers are used to modelling. Anyway, the program is still in its early stage. I'll let you know more about its capabilities as soon as I figure them out. <grin> Much of that is dependent on what is available in IPAS 3. Take care, Danny…
