[Bf-committers] Shapes / Shape Keys - confusing terminology

[Roger Wickes]

fyi, 3DSMax uses Morph and the Morpher Modifier. Morph is a verb. Shape is a noun. You morph one shape into another by molding the object. Molding is the edit action used to create a Shape. And yes, we have a Mold modifier. While our Shape keys accomplish the same as the 3DSMax Morpher I just shudder at using the same term they do (but that may be a personal issue :)

I really like that. OK newbie, first we make a face model and then to
help with animation we make different morph shapes of that face. For
example we could do a smile Morph Shape or a frown Morph Shape and
then morph between them and the base model.

On second thought Morph Target is better.
