Anot sure if it does cubes
Oi think playmaker can if c# in theory - thanks so much!! What could i google to find a c# route? btw thought this looked cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agntVByjfEA Thanks for the link!!!!! yeah dont really want cubes, just 2 figures morphing into eachother would be awesome

AThat's a 36 minute video! Want to give us a time stamp to narrow it down a bit? 
Ooh no i havent watched it i was just sharing incase you were interested!!!!
Oi just thought it was thematically related
Owas considering posting it in off-topic
Aah. thought that was meant to illustrate the morphing you wanted to do
Aanyway - it's a hard problem. especially for two meshes with different vertex counts/topology etc
Othanks will look into the mesh deformer, sounds like it would do the trick, just not altogether familiar with the github processes etc. so have a learning curve to scale lol thanks so much!
Apersonally - i'd use the VFX Graph and fake it with particles
Othanks for the suggestion!
CThere's pretty standard "spherize" and possibly "cubeize" deformers in blender and other 3d packages. I'd use a blendshape to morph between the two. It's a pretty well established technique.
Blendshapes pretty much "just work" when imported into unity.
Then you could maybe animate the blendshape either directly in playmaker or by creating a 2 frame animation and playing it back in playmaker.

Use Blenders cast modifier to blend between shapes.
Blender Docs

The Cast modifier shifts the shape of a mesh, curve, surface or lattice, towards any of a few predefined shapes (sphere, cylinder, cuboid).

Blender shape keys / morph targets / blend shapes allow you to set different positions of vertices that you can morph between in animation!

AThis might be exactly what you're saying but it's worth spelling it out - you can use cube or some other regular shape as a midpoint to morph any two meshes into one another. Just morph mesh1 into a cube (or whatever), instantly switch to the other mesh pre-morphed into a cube and then animate that turning back into mesh2.
AThe materials might flip at the changeover but you can animated fading them to white or black or something as well.
A(there are algorthithms that morph arbitrary meshes into one another. It was called "Conform" in 3Ds Max I think. But they never work that well unless both meshes have a ton of triangles)
CYeah sorry my explanation was awful
CBasically -
- Blender cast modifier to morph a mesh into a cube.
- Duplicate the mesh & use a blendshape to save the morph into the mesh.
- Export the mesh as an FBX with blendshapes turned on.
- Import the FBX, you'll see a new blendshape slider on the import window
- Set up an animation controller, the first animation with blendshape off the second with it on. You can control this with parameters from playmaker
AI didn't watch the vids to be fair. They probably made things clearer.

ACompletely different look - but it's another approach.
AYou can have a ton more particles if your hardware is up to it and get a fairly solid surface.
A(also - it can get the colour from the texture map and even respect lighting)
COh yeah I did that last month, it's only possible by using particles on the mesh though it is really easy.
AThat's all pretty wild.
Othank you sooo much @chard @andybak !!!!
AIs there a quick and dirty way to reduce audio input volumes or mute in unity or prevent the video recorder from finding the audio source?
maybe just force the recorder to fail when looking for audio sources?
I'd prefer to be able to just change a script or have a command line entry, rather than post process using the batch file
Around 90% of the time I'm listening to windows media player when using open brush, an typically shoot around 10 videos a session
It would be nice to just be able to post them rather than do additional editing to get rid of unpostable audio

ACan't you just change your audio input to something else in Windows?
AI guess that requires you having an input that is still there but does nothing. I've got Virtual Desktop microphone that works like that when I'm not using the app
AMaybe. Makes sense, didn't think of it. I have a microphne on another headset that has a mute switch, will try that.
Thanks!
Thanks!
CI use Mute.FM. it mutes your specified music player when it detects any other audio source (you have granular control over what that is)
Idk how much control you have over the fade time or reaction time, but it's not immediate on the stock version.

AThanks, good info
Ca lot of gamedevs use it when they're working because they want unity audio for testing & music for working
I use it because I watch a lot of youtube tutorials. It mutes spotify when I'm watching a video in chrome

AHmm. "Usually requires flash", is that actually the case?
AThat worked once. Then I got what I'm pretty sure is an unrelated video error, and it found the actual music source.
Going to try it again and remember to save changes, see how it goes

AReally strange. Didn't have the error this time. Worked on the first video pass. After that, it apparently discovered the audio, or maybe the headphones found it.
Will try the method Chard suggested

ZWhat’s the most current version of Unity that OB supports??
M2019.4.x
AUnless you mean the Open BrushUnity SDK ?
ZYes @andybak Thank you! Do you anticipate it to work with the newer versions soon?
AIt already does, I believe.
ACan you try it and let us know if there are any problems? I think there's maybe an issue with two versions of the json library being installed but it's a while since I tried it
A(it's a bit more fiddly getting it working with URP or HDRP - that's still a work in progress. Partially done)
