Hi, here’s a new toturial that explains how to create such demos like this.

Thank you Mikhail. Very clear and useful tutorial.
This is a great add to Verge 3D. however I’m still waiting for some way to get a cutting plane feature, more or less like a dynamical boolean object. Blender has a different (and rather clumsy) approach from other 3D packages to make boolean objects and I’m not seeing how this will be possible in a simple manner. In cinema 4D, for instance, boolean objects are non destructive and easily modifiable at any time. I’m still trying to deal with these in blender.
Cheers

Hi Mikhail,
Thank you for the good work on parametric models and thank you for the video tutorial. I have just begun building my own test examples and your tutorial is helpful.

As I make more complex examples (more degrees of freedom), the calculations are getting a little complex, but that is my problem and not yours. Thank you again.

Is it possible to use text input to control the parametric model?

Yes, it is possible. Mikhail’s examples are interesting because they demonstrate dragging driving a parametric model, but the dragging action is not required to drive the morph targets. As Mikhail shows in his video, the value for the morph target is driven by puzzles. Those same puzzles could easily listen for a change in a text input element, take that value and drive the morph target value.

I am doing something similar by driving the morph target values from an external data feed.

Please add this Request to a specific forum.

It’s alse a non-destructive in Blender, isn’t it? Or what the difference between Blender and Cinema4D boolean modidyers?

Will be great to see using of this feature in real projects!

Yes, you can create a text input html div and get a numbers from there and transfer them to the shapekeys value.
