Window: MorphMaker [Command M]
MorphMaker is a tool that allows you to define a neutral reference pose for an object and any number of variations on that reference. These variations are called gestures. Any number of gestures can then be blended in any amount to form a pose. This feature can greatly simplify facial animation, among other things.

  1. Select a model.
  2. Choose MorphMaker from the Window menu or type Command M.
