Creating a Morphing Shape Animation in Blender!

In this video, we talk about how to use shape keys and the shrinkwrap tool in Blender to create a morphing shape animation! This kind of animation can be used to show objects transitioning into other objects - like spheres into cubes, etc!

Hi everyone! What kind of applications can you think of for this kind of animation? Let me know in the comments below! :)

This is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you!

Awesome! I was actually in search of a freelance animation guy for hire, to animate some of my 3dCAD models as they deform under external pressure and eventually collapses in on itself.
But now that you gave me a decent understanding of the work flow for such animations, I realized that I am perfectly able to do this on my own so I really don't need to hire an expert.

Thanks again for making these tutorials, I will surely check out more as I go on learning myself to use blender. Cheers

Thanks for this! I had a biology project where we needed to make an animation of a cell reproducing and I finally found what I was looking for after a lot of research!!

Very very useful. I have watched tons of videos about Blender but this one about morphing was the first! Please keep up posting more content. 🙏

this is a great tutorial, A+ for not laughing while smooshing doggo into a ball

My mind is popping with ideas for this - thanks for sharing!

Brilliant! I was looking for a way to morph game objects for a video game project I am planning for and this explained a lot.

One of the best channels. Vary high quality content and straight to the point. Thanks!

I’ve been thru this more times than I want to admit! I’m also in 3.1. I get the same result over and over using a glass sphere and a heart. Result is part of the sphere show up on the heart, but not more than a handful of vertex shapes. I’ve tried selecting from mesh view, getting front and back parts.

I’m new to blender, so forgive my poor use of terminology.

You sir, are the best person on the planet right now. This is exactly what I needed and your tutorial was perfect. Thank you so, so much.

Thank you so much for making this video. My mind is exploding with ideas of what to do with my Zbrush models. I feel giddy. Blender is so cool. Thank you.

Is there a way to do this with an animated character? I want to do a ontogeny sequence that has an animated character.

I bet having the roughness and metallic values keyframed as it turns into a sphere would have the Terminator 2 vibes. Going to have to that a go. Great tutorial video as always.

[BeatlesToJestCos]

I was looking for that, thank you for knowledge.

[Supermynci]

Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful and informative.
