Minor Project: After Effects Autotrace & Reshape Attempt #2
For this attempt, I ended up auto tracing only one frame then I animated the points by hand so they would jump around less (I did this for both the orb and the crystal). I only animated it on 25 frames so the transition is quite short, I time stretched the clip so it didn't feel like it flew by so quickly. This result is better than my first attempt, but it is still not as good as I'd like it to be. However, I know that if I spent more time adding more keyframes and if I adjusted some things in Maya, it would be improved. Since I'm not sure if I'll use this sort of morphing just yet I think I'm going to move on for now but I think it was a useful thing to experiment with.

I've always thought that your 'perfect gem' might be more in this zone?

Yeah I was thinking of probably doing something more like those shapes since I feel it'd match with idea of a 'molecule' shape more :)
DeleteSaw this one - a good compromise?
