  Inflate and deform animation

  Posted by Matthias Gottung on June 30, 2010 at 3:22 pm

  Hey Creativecow,

  I’m working on a project where I have to inflate and deflate some kind of rubber belt, which then deforms another object.

  Is anybody able to give me a few hints how to tackle this animation?

  I’m thinking about cloth animation, but I’m not sure if that will be too render intensive.

  What other possibilities do I have in 11.5?

  regards, Matt

  Cloth is not really render intensive. Just cache the simulation before rendering to assure your render matches the simulation in the view port.

  Personally I would use morph tags and just model both objects the way I like them in each position.

  Hey Randy,

  I never used morph tags, but after looking up the possibilities,
  morph tags might be just what I need

  Thanks for the tip!
