I’m trying to make a model for an architect.
I’m currently using dupliframes.
And I’m trying to use also shape key.
But my shape keys only appear in the dupliframes when I animated them.
Can I make them appear in a static way ( like dupliframes should do) ?
something like that :
…anyone ?.. 
No, Im afraid it can’t be done. I answered a similar question in the anim forum. I’m still searching for a way though.

To use it. load it in a text windows, do Alt-p. There you can set start, stop and skip frame. select the object to dupliframe and press do it. To obtain something like you want, animate object moving in space and with the proper morphing at the good time. The script will make a copy of the object for all frame.[/img]
I get this error Gabio:
Using Python version 2.4
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "TrueDupFrames.py", line 83, in bevent
File "TrueDupFrames.py", line 96, in dupli
TypeError: expected string argument
%<
I corrected you script Gabio (alpha2)
Add name=obl[0].name in dupli()
Now It’s working pretty good
THANK YOU !

A right. I corrected this bug. but look like I copied the old version over.
np
I see, don’t need to create a one more variable.
I’m quite new to programming.
That’s really why I love Blender and it’s community, to be able to work with a tool you can complitly custom.Now I can model the architect’s project. I will show them the first tests on monday (That’s so fast ! I made this post on friday ).
thanks a lot Gabio
