Animation Tutorials - Morpher

Using the Morpher tool makes it very easy to create simple animations like facial animations. For this tutorial we practised using this tool on a pre-built human head model with the intention of creating a few facial animations.

The way in which the morpher tool creates these animations is that you create multiple copies of the head object and modify it to show the finished emotion you want to animated.

These faces are then added to the list of channels on the morpher modifier of the original head which gives a slider to tween between the start and end facial animation. A tween!

These sliders can then be used to create the desired animations, combined with the curve editor and dope sheet this makes facial animating quite simple.

Here is the animation I created during the tutorial:
