Barycentric Morph Controller

The Barycentric Morph controller is automatically applied when you create a Morph compound object. You can select morph targets and create keys at different times to change the original object's shape to those of the morph targets.

• Select an object. > Create panel > Geometry > Compound Objects > Morph

The Barycentric Morph controller represents each key as a series of weights for all targets. One barycentric key represents a new object which is a blending of all targets.

You can adjust each morph key to various percentages of the available morph targets. This lets you create subtle adjustments in the animation.

You can insert keys between existing morph keys. These added keys contain interpolated values for all targets.

To access the key properties dialog, select the Morph track, select one of its keys, and click Properties to display the Key Info dialog.

Tip: A useful alternative to the Morph controller is the Morpher modifier.
