Understanding Morphing

The Morphing feature is used to animate similar and simple shapes such as hair or smoke. It helps you by saving time when you are working on tedious in-betweening and tracing tasks This, in turn, provides you with more time to spend on complex animation tasks such as walk-cycles or acrobatic sequences.


It is helpful to know the pros and cons of morphing before you start. Understanding what you can do and which drawing lines can give you a problem will enable you to design your key drawings so they morph efficiently.

The more complex the shape is, the longer it takes to morph. If it takes more time to morph a drawing than to hand draw it, then it is better to animate it instead of morphing. However, if you spot an occasion when you can morph your drawings, do it! It allows you to fix your timing and velocity in no time without having to create any extra drawings!
