What you're talking about is called "morphing." Check out the 3Ds Max or Maya morpher modifiers. They do exactly what you need. I also recommend starting out from a mesh w/ a specific vertex ...

very simple use the bump file in (maya 2009 ) the material which you use the material

...or, sticking to blender (2.5 interface will be much easier to learn), you might want to use the exact same t ...

It would be extremely helpful for anyone trying to answer your question if you specified what 3D application you are working with.

Try out Voxel3D, it does exactly what you need.

Actually, what most likely happened here, is that you accidentally disabled the gizmo. Make sure before you move the object, you have the "Select and Move" mode on in your toolbar (horizonta ...

Blender 2.5 is the new release, and you know, I took a look at it and said "wow!"

It's looking much friendlier then previous blender versions. 2.5 is still in development, but I'd say: ch ...

THANK you. I've been using Greeble since 3Ds Max R3! I don't really use Max that much anymore (switched to Blender, since it's really very nice now), but I very much appreciate your work.

1. 7 is nothing more than Vista fixed up a bit at this point. What is really vital is that you get a 64-bit version of whatever WinNT you install (Vista is 6, 7 is 7). 64-bit system + 64-bit processor ...

If this is of any help, try making 2D blueprints of the skill from multiple angles. Afterwards, model based on these (literally, put the blueprint raster images into the modeling viewport). Use symmet ...

If you're really serious about this, I would actually recommend using a full-blown 3D app with a rendering engine. The free choice is obvious - Blender, especially now since the 2.5 interface is looki ...

I recommend you use blender if you don't have a preferred commercial application. Out of commercial apps, I strongly recommend 3D Studio Max, Modo, or Maya. I don't know about Silo (never had the chan ...

Stay put. I'm currently making a new Human Anatomy Modeling tutorial. You can read about it in the CG society Modeling forum.

Part 1 will focus on making primary forms of the human body. Right now ...
