@@vamrack8344 the finger bones are already separated from the metacarpal bones. You should be able to move them freely from the rest of the hand. But the 3 finger bones will remain connected.

@@4645-m1s The method in this video doesn’t really work well if you wanted to continue animating the “werewolf”. The idea was to use this method for the morphing animation, then switch to a ready, rigged version of your “werewolf”.

@@NoobFalamGamer for that tutorial, I was going to use Bruce Banner changing into Hulk, but I couldn’t find a good Bruce Banner model.

@@MuffinPopsicles you still want the pupils to be completely flush with the eyes?

@pmdesigns5798 yes indeed I am trying to go for something that resembles the Scott pilgrim artsyle with the black rings around the eyes and cartoonist I did come up with something that just about works but since it is a separate object from the head it has been difficult to shape it into place for shape keys like blinks for example took me a week to make something good. I want it to be more like this presented method however as it seems much cleaner and fits what I was after amazingly

​@@MuffinPopsicles I don't know anything about Unity or exporting to it, but I assume it's able to handle UVs. There's another video on my channel showing how the eyes can be done with image textures. Maybe that would work. ua-cam.com/video/SmP3DIF7jQM/v-deo.html

@pmdesigns5798 I will have a watch in the morning I was not aware there were further videos 👍 thanks for your responses BTW I am very grateful.

@@Kolastio Good question. It’s been a while, so I’m not sure. If I were to do it again, I would create the pose with just rotation and locations, and then just animate the scale of the bones. Because the bones are scaled from their individual origins, it wouldn’t need too much work for the locations and rotations.

You can keyframe the factor of mixRGB nodes and/or mix shader nodes. It's quite hard to explain here. I'll try. Let's say you have two separate materials - human skin and wolf skin. You actually want to make this into just one material. So, in your wolf skin material, box select all of the nodes for the shader. Also, make sure you shift+select any one of the nodes (This makes one of the nodes the "active selection" enabling you to copy it). Copy the nodes (CTRL+C) and go to your human skin material. Now press CTRL+V and paste those wolf skin nodes into your human skin node material. If it doesn't paste in, it means you didn't select an active node before you copied. You might need to tidy it up a bit so you can see which node tree is which. Now add a mix shader and connect your human skin shader and your wolf skin shader into the Mix shader. Connect the Mix Shader to the Material Output. If you adjust the factor on your Mix Shader between 0 and 1, it should blend between the human and wolf skins. Set the factor on the Mix Shader to 0. Hover your cursor over the factor input box and press 'i' on your keyboard. This should insert a keyframe. Then go forward a few frames. Change the factor to 1. Hover your cursor over the factor input box and press 'i' again, inserting another keyframe. Now, you should have an animated blend between the human and wolf skin. This could also be automated using drivers and the scale/rotation/location of an empty, but that's a bit much to explain here. Sorry that was so long and if it was possibly patronising. I don't know what your level is so I tried to make it beginner-friendly. If that isn't very clear, you could check out my video about making stealth-camouflage. That covers animating the blend between two materials. ua-cam.com/video/lDVgUJMWz20/v-deo.html

@@clownjev make a switch to another image? Pretty easy. Add another image texture node and set that to your alternative eye shape (swirl for example). The. Just add a Mix RGB node, connected to both image texture nodes. For example, normal eye image is plugged into A on the MixRGB and then your swirly eye image texture is plugged into B. The factor of the Mix RGB can then be keyframed to switch between the two.

@@pmdesigns5798 thanks so much!

@@EggsToMe I have no idea why nobody else figured it out. It’s the closest to morphing that is currently doable in Blender. I think.

@@justtoletyahknow1 Totally! And you could use your gradient setup to add bump too. To make a bit of separation between the gory part and the clean part.

@@xgreenplays523 Doing a straight black line that turns into a smile is not so straightforward. You’d have to use math nodes to completely alter the shape. If you want to do that, you could: use a curve with hooks on each end; use different image textures for different visemes, swapping them out using a driver; or you could try doing it with Grease Pencil. You can draw directly onto the face and the lines can be weighted to your rig.

​@@pmdesigns5798 Oh okay I'll try that thanks

There definitely is, but I'm afraid I can't really offer any help without a bit more info. What kind of gradient? Which colours? Does it need to be animated?

@@pmdesigns5798 doesnt have to be animated, but i was kinda wanting to have a green sclera with a gradient that is darker on the top (wish i can send pics for that)

@@jamabastionhyness99 a linear gradient (just a horizontal or vertical line) is relatively straightforward to do. You just need a gradient node, set to linear, connected to a color ramp connected to the colour of your sclera section. Get the texture coordinate and mapping node for the gradient node and that will allow you to adjust the position and/or rotation of your gradient line. Then just set the color ramp up with whatever colours you want to use. If you want a circular (spherical) gradient, it’s a bit more tricky. Especially if it’s not going to follow the tracking of the pupil.

@@pmdesigns5798 hmmm thx, i'll try that out 👍

@pmdesigns5798 oh and is there a way to make those curvy, happy closed eyes?

Thank you. I hope I can finish it soon.

Yeah, that clip had only had the VO and some placeholder sounds added. Never got as far as audio.

Thanks very much! When doing this, I was a bit caught between exaggerated cartoony visemes or realism. Realistically, people barely move their mouths when speaking, but that just didn't sell that they were talking. So, I tried to make every viseme clear, but not over the top. Anyway, it got cancelled, so I stopped spending time on it. I'll definitely remember your advice next time, though!

Fair enough. But you should bear in mind that I didn't spend a lot of time making the examples in the video. If you take the time to model it well and follow the steps in the video, then you can get a good morphing effect. And secondly, there is currently no other way to do it.

Thank you very much!

If you move the pupil away from the control (empty), or vice versa, the pupil will become smaller. Did you add the shrinkwrap constraint to the control, so that it can't move too far from the eye?

Very welcome!

Thank you.

That's a good point. I didn't think about that at the time. But it would be really easy to match the taper at the top too.

I had to use another tutorial 🫠🫠🫠🫠 but if you could still post that I would watch it and learn from it still cuz the other one was a different method totally

Depends what you mean by quick... You can easily append the material into your new file or assign it to a new head/character very quickly. You would just have to sort out the empties (controllers) so that they are aligned with the new head.

@@pmdesigns5798 It works fine. I tried it on a flat 3d spherical eye, it worked too. Muchas Gracias
