Following the Visemes request post, the idea of Morph sliders driving several other selected 'children' Morphs deserves its own request.
I think it could be really great to have this in CC and iClone at some point, for realtime animation (mouse puppet, etc..)
The idea is simple really:
1) Ability to create a Morph slider 'group'.
2) Ability to select which Morphs goes into this group (ie pack sliders)
3) Ability to set the value of each Morph in the group.
4) (*new* : ) Ability to place on a timeline the sequence of Morphs.
This 4) point deserve a little explanation:
It is like chaining or mixing motion clips, but instead you place children morphs. The difference is that sequence of morphs is not driven by time, but by the value of the Morph Group slider (0: start of the sequence, 1: end of the sequence). So by animating the value of the Morph Group slider you 'play' the sequence of morphs at arbitrary speed and direction.
5) Last but not least and as a bonus - the 'Graal' of morph animation - Ability to have Cardinal interpolation between morphs instead of Linear interpolation (important for curved vertex path during morphing).
