#Morphing Materials?
5 messages in this thread
Hi,
I am trying to morph a wire material into a solid material.
Anyone have some pointers for me.
Thanks in advance…

PS- Selecting the morph material option doesn't seem to work.
Paul:
The last time I did this I morphed between copies of the same object
with different material designations. I don't recall, however, if I
had to do it this way.
You'll probably get a lot of responses, Paul, but you can't morph a
wire into any other kind of material — it's in the manual but rather
buried.
Use Video Post and dissolve between two animations created with
different materials. This is the only way I know, but it works just
fine.
Hi Mike,
I did what you suggested and this was exactly what I wanted. It was so simple,
Sometimes I just forget the power of Video Post.
Thank you much…

PS- Thanks to everyone who responsed.

Perhaps using using the Wire Frame setting for the source object material to
morph into your destination object that is mapped solid. Since wire frame mode
renders all visible edges, you'll need to make unwanted edges invisible using
the Autoedge command. I did this for a morph of an automobile body from silver
wire mesh to finished bright red with very satisfactory results.
Hope this helps!
