Morphing Dinner Plate, Round to Octagonal and then some..

Now, I am well aware of just how many people are desperate for this prop (none). It is one I initially did in 2007 or so for Poser, but never got around to publishing it. I have re-vamped the prop so it's now got a few extra size morphs , but the original feature is still intact.
So, it's a Round Plate that morphs to Octagonal. With a couple of size morphs.
Yeah, so?
Now extend the idea and push the Octagonal morph from -100% to +200% and you get something quite unexpected. Try it.
Hope you like,
Richard

Think you're right about that. Also goes with my other octagonal freebies here:

It looks great, thank you!
Thank you!
Must admit I was utterly gob-smacked when I first tried the octagonal morph outside the 0-100% range. I really wasn't expecting the lobed or star shape to appear at all.
The mesh is all triangles, which I know is far from ideal - I modelled a round plate and octagonal plate in a stress modeller when I first did it, ensuring that the elements were 8 noded parabolic formulation shell elements for accuracy. Each 8 noded shell then exported as 6 triangles, and I didn't have enough sense at the time to simply rewrite the exporter or re-mesh as linear quad facets. To re-create the model now would be to abandon all modern modellers and return to one that was a bit out of date in 2004. It wasn't something I wanted to do when re-vamping this prop.

Richard
