Hi everyone, Here is a first prototype of 2 new tools (as a .gha plugin), one for thickening skeletons into closed quad meshes, and one for morphing geometry with a mesh cage. Fattener.gha (27 KB) and some notes on how to use it here . Please bear in mind this is just an alpha version - no promis…

It’s the same definition as the ‘Skeleton_Morph’ file posted above, just with a vector moving the points from the rest cage to the deformed cage, and slider connected to a multiplier for this vector. Morph_animate.gh (2.2 MB)

One more example: kangaroo_skeleton.gh (19.1 KB) [kangaroo_skeleton]

@DanielPiker this is awesome, combined it with Pufferfish ’s Tween Mesh, works quite fast - now I will apply to the animation team of the next Jurassic World :smiley: [Capture] Morph_animate_TweenRap.gh (2.2 MB)

And one with multiple poses using Pufferfish Tween Through Meshes with the Interpolation options for smooth (non linear) animation transitions. [Capture] Morph_animate_TweenRapMulti.gh (2.2 MB) [GifRap]

and of course we need one of these: [image] rhino_skeleton.gh (21.9 KB)

[animals] grasshopper_skeleton.gh (17.5 KB)

I mean that these should be used for Rhino 7 marketing graphics!

Creating smooth meshes from pipes, like tsPipe had in T-Splines?
