  difficult to explain .. reshaping

  Posted by Mirek on January 11, 2006 at 9:58 pm

  Hi,
  I would like to achieve an effect of combining two shapes.Well, I have one person on transparent background and then other persons coming accross and vanishing in the first person in a certain way .. I mean I want to get an illusion like reshaping the first figure for a while by the other figures and then returning to its original shape .. Something like the movie effect of a soul leaving a body but backwards. I hope you understand me.
  Thanx in advance for any ideas

  Having a hard time following. Try adding a mesh warp to the person who will reshape. Put them over the other person and half the transparency (or put in screen transfer mode) so you basically can onion skin over the other person. Set a keyframe. Move in time to where you want them to warp. With the warped figure over the normal figure, reshape the points on the mesh warp to fit the figure on top of the other figure. The idea is to keyframe the mesh warp so the figure morphs from normal into the shape of the other.
