Sphere-plane Blendshape

[eppi]

hi

does anybody how I can blendshape a nurbssphere and a nurbsplane correctly. If I rebuild both with the same u/v values and create the blendshape the blendshape works but the plane which turns into a sphere have overlapping edges instead of fitting exactly together.

thank a lot for your help..

Oldest trick in the book. See http://mayastation.typepad.com/maya-statio...o-a-sphere.html

Heres a different altough not as cool way:

CODE
// lets make a sphere thats not closed but close enough
// for any practical purpose that ist no matter
sphere -p 0 0 0 -ax 0 1 0 -ssw 0 -esw 359.9999999999
       -r 1 -d 3 -ut 0 -tol 0.01 -s 8 -nsp 4 -ch 1;
nurbsPlane -p 0 0 0 -ax 0 0 1 -w (2*3.141592) -lr (1/( 3.141592)) -d 3 -u 8 -v 4 -ch 1;
// it easier to do thsi way so i swap u and v
reverseSurface -d 3 -ch 1 -rpo 1;

Then blend them!
