What sort of animation is it?

Hi,

I’ve had this doubt since i first started playing around with 3D software…

What is the name of the sort of animation where stuff simply grows?
I’ve seen many animations where buildings come up pilar by pilar and brick by brick… In other animations one simple curvy line grows up and multiplies ending up being a whole new object… And sometimes an object transforms into a whole other object…
The weirdest one I’ve seen is maybe that where first you get to see the bones of a person, then the tissues grow, then the muscles form and in the end the skin takes over…

I’ve been searching in the last two years for tutorials explainging this sort of animation but i don’t even know where to begin… Maybe a name?

If some one could give me info on this subject i would be very grateful!

Cheers

There is the build modifier. animated mask. animated materials.
“simple curvy line grows” you can use the animall add on to grow, move,shape a curve, grow a vine. to grow tissue.
I would think you would want many techniques to grow tissue. Grow a curve for blood vessels. unmask each mussel separately with animated alpha.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Now I get it!

Cheers
