Subject: Need help with Daz Morphing Python and deformers...

Ok here is my plead, I am currently trying to make the morphing python eat a sphere, the general idea is to make it eat earth, as a metaphor of Ourobouros, I was wondering how do you make the fits to where the bulge encompasses the sphere, without using dials which in recent attempts make the image a failed attempt from what I am trying to do. Can anyone tell me how to make the sphere bulge inside the snake.....

Thanks very much for any help...

Hmmm... Nice mental image there.  I personally don't think the Ouroborus would eat the earth, rather encumpasing it around the equator or something to signify the eternal cycles of earth's... cycles.  Night and day, the seasons, life and death.  That kind of thing.  Though, for what you need, umm...  I would say if you go for the snake, select the affected sections of the snake, the parts you want to morph, and just set their sizes bigger.  I wouldn't do it too much, otherwise it'll look wrong. 

In order to go forward, one must often times look to the past.

Yes I see the influence of the Ouroborous as a barrier between inner and ouutter space, I wanted to state it in a few images as the snake completely devouring itself, ending the cycle of time, as in many anticosmic beleifs, but the cosmic symbology being the planets in a sense are the snake, and the spirit or mentality of the illusion being what is the nature of the planets, I do have a concept of this already done, but it is the prior to the passing, which in time I hope to incoperate into a system of images maybe even a gif later but as all are devoured, then the snake devours itself ending the age...It is very complex to explain but I see it as so. 

As for the working the dials, I have had a few problems making the body fit the contours of the sphere without it being off to where it looks uneven or to where the morphing has to be resized to make it look even right, which gives a larger body and makes it look as if the camera was having to close up of the snake, whilst the sphere doesn't gain in size, which throws it massively off...I shall try further and thank you for your help...

Well... why not make the planet smaller, and when it goes into the mouth of the snake, just make it not visable.  Shouldn't be too hard I don't think.
