Animate geometry.

[jonorman]

Hi all..

Dont know if this is the right place for this question but i take a chance. Are there by any chance a script or a plugin that can help with animation of geometry ?? I dont mean moving it in a animation but changing the geometry from one scene to another. Like the animation of a figure walking.

hope there is a guru out there with a answer for my question...

BTW. To all U script makers out there..... U are the best. SU would not be the tool it is today without U guys... Cheers to all of U ! ! ! !

This has been something requested I think even by me. All I could find out is that the next best thing is to put geometry on different layers, and turn layers on and off between scenes. I don't know of any thing where you could get smooth animations. I suppose the only other thing would be Sketchy physics and one of its companions that can record the physics, but thats different than an animation I would think.

What I`m thinking is to morph, transform, change the shape of the geometry.. I know it might be on the very edge of what SU could preform. But to make an example of what i could use is: A plugin/script that could "record" the transformation using FFD from one scene to another... that would be more that sufficient for my needs.. I would really make my day
