So let's go to our volume builder, and let's bring the voxel size down to, say, one. And now you can see all of our giant voxels here. So let's go ahead and grab our volume builder, and we're going to throw the matrix object in the volume builder. And what we're going to do to build geometry off of the matrices is using a volume builder. And let's actually hide the numbers from view, so all we see are the matrices. We can really crank up the strength of the blend, and we get this really nice transition there. And blend is going to help smooth out everything, so now if I hit play, you can see that it morphs. And the delay effector allows us to smooth out the movement of clones or matrices by using different modes here. And the way we're going to do that is by clicking on the matrix object and going to MoGraph, Effector, Delay. But now we just have this kind of snap between these two objects, so we need to smooth this out, smooth out that transition. You can see now we're using number two, so now we have one and two, just by keyframing which connect object we're cloning matrices onto. And let me just turn this on, so you can see it.

But then if I drag and drop connect two in there and hit a keyframe. So from this keyframe all the way back to frame zero, it'll be using the one connect object. And now what I can do is on the matrix object, click and set a keyframe at frame 30 for this to use the connect object one. Again, go into the caps, create single object. So we'll just drag and drop there, and rename this two. So what we're going to do is again use a connect object, 'cause we want to connect the number two. Now to be able to get this to morph to the number two, what I'm going to do is maybe around frame 30, I go in and keyframe this object from one to two.

So you can see that our number one is completely engulfed by the matrices, so this is perfect. And now what we're going to do is just crank up this count until we get our entire form. And instead of using random volume mode, we're going to use surface as well. So instead of using surface, we're going to use volume. And now you can see we're cloning a lot more matrices onto our object surface. And that's going to fuse the extrusion with the caps, okay? And now what we can do is instead of using the MoText object, we can drag and drop the connect object in there. And then one other important thing is that to have this not have all this janky edges, we're going to go to the caps and check on create single object. And we'll just click and drag and drop this number one MoText object under the connect. So what I can do is just slide this on over, double click, and rename this connect one. So what we're going to do is we can either make this editable by hitting the C key, or we can keep it live and throw this in a connect object.

And why that is, is that we're cloning this onto a generator object, so it doesn't actually recognize all of the polygons and the volume of this actual generator object itself. And you're going to notice that this actually only generates a single matrix object here, a single matrices. And then I'm just going to drag and drop my number in here.

And what I'm going to do is have the mode set to object. So let's go ahead and let's grab a matrix object. So how we're going to start doing that is by generating and building up these forms of the one and the two, using matrices and volumes. And basically what I want to do is morph between the one and have it morph to a two. I have two MoText objects, just a one and a two. In this week's video, I'm going to show you a clever workflow for morphing meshes using volumes and matrix objects. Hello and welcome to yet another C4D Weekly.
