BOUJOU —- AE

Hi,
When i import boujou into AE, everything seems to work allright, but when i scroll trough the timeline, you can see that the NULL objects don’t resize properly.

Hope someone has a solution for this.

Thanks in Advance

Blendshape and Displacement

Hi, I”ve modeled out a character that has a look of a tree, now I want her to transform from a healthy looking tree into a rotting one. I’ve figured out how to do this by using blendshape.

Now my concern is, how will you animate the displacement map, and the texture? from a healthy tree bark to a rotten one. This is for my thesis in school. Would really appreciate all the help I can get 🙂
