Hey, this is a character Ive been working on for a while, for a Uni project

click the link to see a video - i will post some better shots up later --- skip to 4.00 to see the effect in action without the technical breakdown

that's interesting!
I love the style of the 'two' characters!

how did you technically achive the morphing?

its a nice effect but i'd expect some kind of painful animation during the transformation rather the just a smooth blend between the two.

It's just using morph targets.

i agree, he is way to transform - yay im a wolf - it definitely needs some form of animation to make the transition more dynamic - give it more of an American werewolf in London -Rick Baker - sort of animation - but at the same time attempt to not interrupt game play

yes it was a mixture of morph targets and material scalar parameters tied into a few functions in uscript to get it to work - its not as simple as making a skeletal mesh morph as i found out much to my detriment

Maybe try and check the WoW Worgen transmorph animation, the tech behind this looks awesome and I like the character XD

Show some more when u can!

yep ill try and bust out some renders tonight --- your right that sort of animation would be perfect as i could just animate the upper half of the torso and not interrupt the running animations - cheers

here are some quick udk shots !
