Blender Transformation. The Gender Change Machine

I know there are a few mistakes with the models in this video.. and the animation isn't perfect.. (I don't have a lot of experience with animating human figures) but it really started off as an experiment with Shape Keys which is a Blender feature I have wanted to try for a while but always thought it looked complicated.. I started off with a model of a female figure which I made earlier which became the first Shape Key, from which I created the male model. No vertices were added or taken away during the remodelling phase and the gender-changing animation is just the Shape Keys moving the vertices from the positions in key one to the positions in key 2 which when combined with the armature and the spinny bits on the machine created the effect of a human-ish figure changing from male to female..

The characters armature is very simple as my main focus was the Shape Keys animation so it only has enough bones to move the arms, head and legs in fairly simple motions... enough so it doesn't look like a statue but not really enough for a lifelike animation.

It was all modelled and animated using Blender.

I tried it without subsurface scattering but the light just looked too harsh especially at the beginning of the animation.. But it did cause a few problems.. the ears are barely visible now and they're two of my favourite features of the model. Since I made this I have updated the model and turned down the subsurface scatting effect so now the ears and details in the face are more visible.

The machine should have clothed him

Love this video. Just love the theme of forced automated sex change. What software did you use?

[Stickdude918]

good job!

[DJfamousmill]

Your video is really fantastic, I really like your animations good. I noticed you used the subsurface scattering on the skin of the character, really good choice. xDxD

@TheRogueMod Indeed it does... *shifty eyes*

That's terrific! Had to laugh when he/she kept feeling the new boobs. Interesting how the machine provides appropriate attire along with the gender change.
