i am looking for a program to create morph targets (if it s easy to use : it s for me!!!) i ve heard about 3dsmax but it s a little too expensive and hard for me so if you know any program that could help me it ll be great (maybe a program for free download...never knows!!) so thanx a lot for any answers with all my gratitude tellmewhatulike

go to www.anim8or.com and it is free

Agreed. I've tried several alternatives, and Anim8or is the only one that worked for me. It's also more useful than some fairly expensive programs like Amorphium, when it comes to creating custom 3D shapes. Anim8or has a rather odd style of interface, but once you "catch the idea" it's remarkably easy. Be sure to download the tutorial on Poser morphs from the Anim8or site; just follow that, and you'll be morphing after an hour of learning time! (You'll also need UVMapper to convert the .OBJ files from Poser-style to Anim8or-style.)

If you haven't learned how to use the magnets and deformers built into Poser4, it's well worth your effort. Sometimes it's easier to make a particular morph, or put finishing touches on one with magnets. That's particularly true if you want a symmetrical effect across the centerline, because it's easy to set up a second magnet, copy and paste the settings, then change for example a +x value to -x. Magnets look intimidating at first, but it's the cheapest, fastest way to learn about morphs. There are some good tutorials around to get you started.

go to morphworld for some excellent tutorials on morphing with magnets.

you could try out morphmaster here in freestuff, its free,very easy to use and made for poser use. its in the utilities section. stu

I've been playing around with ZBrush for creating morph targets and it's very easy and fun to use. I understand that it's under $300 for a limited time. www.pixologic.com

Anim8or is good for simple things, but I also recommend Amorphium as being quite intuitive for more "organic" work. Amorphium 1.0 was a cover CD program on Computer Arts Magazine recently. The downside is that it's quite complex to get the target mesh into and out of Amorphium; there's a tutorial at Morph World. You get used to it, though.

Wow Anton, that's impressive. But I don't think the Wedge Cut is going to fit him anymore.
