Can I 'deflate' a figure in frame 1 and have her 'inflate' to fit snugly inside a tight-fitting prop (like a clear perspex corset - Think Helmut Newton)? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes, you can. In fact that is one of the tricks people use to fit figures into tight clothes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Would I have to reverse the normals on my prop mesh before inflating her? (She would be approaching the mesh from the back face - does that make a difference? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It shouldn't matter. If you have black areas showing in your render afterward, try clicking on normals forward in the material room and then it should render okay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Would I do it with just her affected body parts and use the result to make morph targets for her, or would I do it with her whole body? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I not sure you even need to do a morph target. Just have the shrunken body in the first frame and the final shape in the last frame and everything just line up right.
