ShapeShifter is a powerful tool in Alias Power Animator that
facilitates Facial animation. Before there was ShapeShifter,
a modeler/animator had to cluster groups of CVs together, and
write unique mathematical expressions that dictated their
movement in relation to each other while attempting to keep
the model free and expressive. Now we have a tool that does
most of it for us, all we simply need to do is build our
models with the Shapeshifter in mind, and determine the ways
in which we wish to control our surface deformations.
