Mesh deformation

A few more threads with examples using the tool Martin linked above:

Does anyone know where

I did experiment a bit with using the Grasshopper cage morph stuff I posted here for this. I warn that this is far from a conventional skeletal posing/animation workflow like you might use in Blender/Poser etc. and it is still far from easy - you have to manually move the cage points in the right way to not stretch or squash the form too much - and for very dramatic changes in pose it will probably break down. Anyway, here it is if you want to try: [image] deformable_hand.gh (4.2 KB) defor…

RigidBody to Fattener to CageMorph

I think it could also work well to use beams and 6dof for this like so: whale wobblywhale.gh (30.1 KB) BlueWhale.3dm (2.1 MB) (model is from here https://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/781785)

Cage edit command that can adapt to any form automatically

Is there any chance to have cages with controlpoints x,y,z that do not start as a box, or that can be deformed before and without applying the deformations to the child? I know that is possible with surfaces as cage, but they have only U and V points. I suspect this is fundamentally not possible, but I am not sure. This is a very old wish of me.

Add Mesh Morphing recipe to Rhino?

Something like this? This is with the mesh cage morph component which I shared a version of here. I’d like to make this into a Rhino command too (once I’m done with the multipipe, fuse and wrap commands!)
