Point movement in scene mode...
« on: March 14, 2008, 03:30:26 pm »

I just think this would allow for more exploration (including the sight of some animated physics with materials) but I would really like to see point edit mode in scene mode.

Just like in the object editing mode, you can move the points around, but if say you wanted to make a trampoline, that is a lot of morphs to make or whatnot.

So yes. I would like to see what other people think of this suggestion, but it is basically to be able to animate the points on objects in the scene mode.


Cheers

Hey, machineman, there is already a topic about this... http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php?topic=132.0

What I think about the idea? The trampoline-type animations would be a bit easier than if you used morphs, but... It is possible to do it all with morphs so I guess Steve won't spend his time with this....

Possible, yes, but not very easy. If you want to create something which is forming around another object, then it would be quite hard. By this I mean cloth or something where morphing would be very tricky.

With a trampoline I guess you can do it just once and then repeat it, but for other things it would make life a lot easier.

Thanks for the link too
