You could pre-render or pre-comp a sequence using ShapeShifter AE then use that as a particle (Sprite) in Particluar.

Or you could use ShapeShifter AE’s built-in Generator to create instances and animate them depending on what your animation is like.

See: https://www.mettle.com/Products/ShapeShifter-AE.php there are several examples of ShapeShifter AE using the built-in Generator.

Roland, Tudor, thanks for chiming in. A small correction. It was FreeForm Pro + Revision FX re:Flex prodcut that was used for the clip you are referring to. See:

Incredible Morphing using FreeForm + Re:Flex

Paul you can do this with FreeForm Pro. We expose the control points (up to a 5 x 5 array)for use with expressions or to attach tracking data.

We did this for a client recently here in Montreal. Unfortunately I cannot show that clip. We used this technique to automate rotoscoping. we shot someone’s mouth and eyes with trackers. We tracked the footage then attached each tracking point’s data to the appropriate control point etc. worked a charm 🙂 Email me for a demo at chris@mettle.com

Thanks for the kind words. This was done with FreeForm Pro not FreeForm V2 or FreeForm the bundled version. I used the built-in Generator in FreeForm Pro to do achieve this effect.

ShapeShifter AE also has the generator built-in.

I would love to see more of what you do. Please post links.

Cool… I will look out for it. Send the others as well I am a sucker for abstracts 🙂 I will create some animated sequences and post them to the video section.

Here is one I just created using one of your low res images you uploaded to the COW. It took no time at all to do this.

I zoomed in quite a bit so the quality is poor because I only have a very low res image that you uploaded. Send me something with more res and I will send you the results.

Granite Toe. Send me some of these images and I will show you some really neat things you can create with FreeForm Pro and/or ShapeShifter AE with these. It gets even more interesting when you used animated sequences or pre-comps. Any way. I think I can have some fun with the stills – send me either 1280 x 720 stills or 1920 x 1080. If I have piqued your curiosity then send ’em over to me at chris@mettle.com

George. `Not too familiar with the ATI models. If you choose the ATI route then get one with more VRAM – more VRAM helps with a multi monitor set-up.

Regarding NVIDIA – from what I have seen the GTX series and the Quadro Series are pretty much neck and neck performance wise. The Quadro series buys you longevity not better performance necessarily.

Our products perform much better on NVIDIA cards on the Mac. On windows it is a completely different story. GPU drivers for both companies are better on Windows right now – so Win GPU’s generally outperform Mac GPU’s – this may change in the future.

Sad to say but I have some $100.00 Win cards that outperform Mac cards that cost thousands. Go figure.
