Blending FFD to Character Motions

By blending the FFD to the character's motion, you can exaggerate the motion and create special effects for the entire animation.

  1. Creating a walking motion for the character.
  2. Apply a transparent prop in front of the character.
  3. Click the FFD Editor button on the toolbar.

    The FFD Editor will open.
  4. Go to the timeframe when the character should start to deform, drag the control points or use the presets to change the shape of the lattice.
  5. Go to another timeframe for altering the deformation. Change the shape of the lattice.
  6. Repeat the same steps for the character ending the deformation.
  7. Add as many keys as possible to create more exquisite deformation effects to the motion.
  8. Open the timeline and click the FFD button to show the FFD track to view the deformation keys.
  9. Playback to view the animation.
