MERGING VERTICES
Selections from
email...
You're missing just one part, which I don't think I
explained...
After each target is made,
and -before- you blend them together, do this to
each:
1. Select all of the overlapping
vertices down the center of the model. By my count there are 142
verts.
2. Edit Polygons > Merge
Vertices > Options
Give it a small number. I
have a distance of .0025.
The result should be
71. That's half of your 142 verts.
After
you've done this for each shape, then you can morph them. You can actually merge
after you've made your blend shapes, but it adds to the history and slows down
the file.
* Be careful and make sure the
numbers stay the same for each model. You can't merge 142 for one file and 138
for another... that will cause issues when you blend them together. Also, be
sure not to merge too many points together. For instance, in the mouth where the
points are close, you don't want to merge 4 points down to 1. That would be a
mistake. :)
