Morphing...

[Anonymous]

I'm teaching a workshop of Archicad this days and many of the asks of the students now finish with ... "Well, you can do with morph" I'm working with Archicad since v11 and morph its the best tool since I work with archi...
I have made some tries with the tools and I think that the posibilities of morph are only limited by our imagination...
(All the are pics above have been modelled in Archicad with morph, no more programs)

My humble contribution:
A simple welded strut for a canopy structure.

My try. The Rex chair collection (http://rex-kralj.si/en/) modeled with morph tool.

With quick Artlantis render of all 5 pieces.

Very good, Gorazd!!!

Thank you. Theese foldable chairs are iconic in Slovenia and are sold throughout Europe since sixties. Modeling them was my way to learn the morph tool, each piece I made took me less time.

I'm in the same sitution... I modelled all this things to practice with morph, and each piece took me less time too. If you know how to modell with c4d, morph is very easy, limited of course but very easy.

I am new to Morph and still finding it virtually unusable. My biggest problem is how to RELEASE the mouse from making something. Every attempt to do so results in the object getting larger and larger and larger. does one hit ESC, does one hit Enter, does one double click, or does one right-click and select OK? None of these seem to work.
The most valuable key combination is Ctrl-Z, because even if you have made an effort to form a shape, you think its done, move the mouse away and suddenly the object goes crazy.

Its very tricky at first but with some practice you can do almost anything. If you need more precision you can deactivate the "3d sensitive cursor" in the process and when you finish activate again....

I looked around a bit, help etc, could not find "3d sensitive cursor", a hint maybe?
Thanks
