Production proven alternate morpher modifier for 3ds max


Benefits over morpher


Are you looking for a better morphing solution in 3ds max?

Don’t look any further… our award-winning Morph-O-Matic is just what you need. Already used by leading 3ds max production studios around the globe for over 9 years, Morph-O-Matic excels where other solutions fail to deliver.

Morph-O-Matic, the industry standard morphing extension for 3ds max, has been designed from the ground up as a tool to assist modelers, animators and technical directors in creating complex morph setups and animations. No matter how complex the model or how numerous the targets, Morph-O-Matic will provide you with instant results every time.

Made for animators by animators, achieve awesome animations quickly and easily with Morph-O-Matic using powerful animator-oriented features like the unique keyframing floating window.

Upgrade your character’s morphing setup to Morph-O-Matic and feel the difference instantly. Get Morph‑O-Matic today and discover for yourself why so many well known CG characters rely on this plug-in for 3ds max.
 

“The key benefit of using Morph-O-Matic is a huge increase in productivity for both animators, and character setup artists. I really recommend Morph-O-Matic as THE tool for studio animating with morph targets in 3ds max.

On the animation side: the increase of speed, been able to play facial animations in real time and having a floating window for each character simultaneously allowing you to animate a few characters at the same time make live much easier. The new pose system saves a lot of time in reusing poses too.

On the character setup side: it’s like having all the small options you always wanted to have in morpher, the ability to keep the targets in the modifier, the negative target, independent limits for each morph. These features really speed up the all workflow and allow you to focus in creating better rigs.”

The small functions of loading and saving whole Morph-Animations in Morph-O-Matic was a true life-saver; I was able to animate characters and bodies in complex scenes separately from their speech and facial animations. With one mouse-click one could get the face animation done in the other scene. Morph-O-Matic fills all holes you need for Morph-Animations. Best recommendation.

With Morph-O-Matic, you get everything you need to create high quality morphing animation in 3ds max, this includes :

- Unlimited number of channels,
why being limited to 100 targets...when complex characters may need more.

- Cut/Copy/Paste on selected channels,
if you like a pose at a precise frames, why not re-use it ?

- Save/Load geometry of targets,
this way you don't have to carry all the targets in the scene !

- Display Filtering, easily choose the channels and keyframes you want to see in the trackbar and in the modifier panel.

- Static and Dynamic Poses
, save any combination of morph channels and re-use it as if it was a morph target but maintain the connection to the initial channels

- Use the stack result as a target
, whenever you want to create a morph target, just apply an Edit Modifier and that's it...you don't have to create countless copies of the object in the scene

- Cubic Spline Interpolation on Progressive channels,
no more linear interpolation between multiples targets of the same channels!

- View-dependant morphing,
unlike traditional animation, 3d characters are always draw perfectly in perspective within 3d space, well not anymore, cheat deformations based on the angle of any cameras !

- Extract all deleted targets and re-bind them, if you have delete some targets, and you want to modify those, this will allows you to keep the animation, and will turn back the auto-reload on, this way you can modify the targets and keep your animations, even if the targets were deleted !

- Soft-Selection support,
restricts morph calculations to only those vertices currently selected in each target. 

- Display Floater
, for animators who don't like the command panel, a cool way to animate and it works with multiple character at the same time !

- Easy Accurate Material Morphing
, you can do material morphing based on channels or even on a per target basis for complex progressive morphing cases.

- MOM file format, allows integration into existing pipelines,  Morph-O-Matic data can be easily exported out to game engines.

- MAXScript support

- Float Licensing, so you can share license(s) across your network.

“I stopped messing around with half baked morph plug-ins the day I got my paws on Morph-O-Matic. Finally a plug-in that got it right. Everything you need when you need it. So you can stop moaning now kids - M.O.M is cooking all your morphs now!”

Morph-O-Matic allowed us to push our facial pipeline to a whole new level. It gave us the ability to overcome the unique challenges that emerged in translating Disney’s classic characters into the world of 3D animation where they had never existed before,”

Sze Chan

"At Blur, we use Morph-O-Matic as the morphing tool on all our 3DS Max based character rigs. Morph-O-Matic is simple and flexible enough so we can combine it with custom rig solutions very easily.”
