Hi I made a prop, it is an interior door which i need to animate so it swings open and a figure walks through the doorway.
I have seen doors where the artist has made the opening functionality a morph ( crank the morph dial, door opens to whatever degree)
Anyone got a tip for hoiw this is done? I was going to try something simple like:

 open the scene with the door in it ( closed position)

use twist, translate to get the door in the open position ( still lined up on its hinges properly),

and then save the door in this open position as a morph target.......

however I do not know if translate and twist settings  are parameters  that are recognized  in a morph target. In other words,i do not think this morph will change the position of the door, becaue morphs only consider changes in the mesh. I am not on my home PC  so I cannot try this myself right now.
does anyone know how i can make the door open with  a dial?

Thanks
