Blend (Morph) - Assign nearest neighbour vertice

[stavros.]

Hey yall, 

First of all sorry if this is a naive question!

I am trying to morph between similar, but independent, objects that have the same number of vertices. However, when I do that, and since they are independent, the morph is creating this overlaps and face artifacts since the vertices are randomly assigned (see attached). My question(s) are the following:

1. Is there a way to assign a morph point, or center weight from which the transformation (morph or blend) happens?
2. Is there a way to somehow match the geometry/vertices/faces between two objects?
3. Is there a way to disable overlap between faces and each face goes to a unique face in the "new" or secondary object? And as an expansion to this question is there a way to morph/blend two objects based on their number of faces? (as an easy and reproducible example, try "blending" a plane and a disk that have the same number of vertices, and it will just ended up in a mess).

Again thanks for any input, and apologies if this is not the relevant section!

Hi!

could you post a picture of the meshes without the morphing?

Depening on how similar they are, you can first use a shrink wrap to from the duplicate of mesh into the other and then create a blendshape from the duplicate to the original. But it's impossible to tell if that works here since I can't see how the second mesh looks in its undeformed state.

This kinda works (at least not so many exaggerated clashes)! Appreciate the input, I'll keep trying to make it work!
