OK, for all you Carrara Studio 3 users, here is the demo file for the multimorph object I created in the previous post. I have re-created 3 of the targets (and only 3 so far) and also included the multimorph demo from A-Kuro digital (http://www.kawachi.zaq.ne.jp/kurozuka/akurodigital/).

The demo only allows for 1 target group and 3 targets within that group, but using this you can see how the modifier works (not that the demo files don't do a good job of this, but I like mine better).

If you actually go beyond the +1, or into the negative values, you can see how the morph will exaggerate the morph. In this manner you can create a facial morph that will raise the brow in surprise. This same morph, in the negative values, will lower the brow. The corresponding morph in the file is labelled "Brow Up". Multiple slider values will mix the different morphs, wich also can create interesting expressions.

Also, you don't need to see the targets that you created. I just rendered them so that you can see the available morphs for the file. If you don't want to render the additional morphs, just uncheck the "Visible" box for the Phen group.

Multimorph is ONLY AVAILABLE for Carrara Studio 3! I could wish that it were available for you other CS users, but I didn't build it. I do know that it is worth the price the creator is asking for, especially if you are doing character animation.

Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I am!
