Thanks Mike:
I had missed the "convert to morph target" in the pull down as well as
its significance. I don't think I would have gotten this without your
help. Once I figured out that I could use that to make the individual
"tweener" states, and at each time point put the appropriate morph
slider to 1 and all others to 0, it worked.
I was trying to "build" the effect of each slider onto the last (ie,
move first to 1, then second to 1 at the next time point, etc) which
obviously doesn't work.
I updated by download from CS3, so I'm trying to use the PDF manual,
which is one problem. The other clearly is that the update of the
manual from CS3 was spotty on the new details, and makes things more
obscure than they need to be even where they don't say things that
worked in CS3 that don't in CS4 (like vertex editing in the modeling
room for animation, which is explicitly referred to).
Thanks again. I can see this is actually a BIG improvement, once the
technique is clear.
I'm making an animation for a CD project of mine on Civil War era
medicine and surgery depicting an amputation, and was trying to figure
out a way to close the skin over the stump in a realistic way.
