For my second-year research project at AUT University, I tried my hands on 3D character metamorphosis. 

The research involved creating a model in Blender, using an add-on for blender called Animall, and animating the mesh and morphing the model to turn into a willow tree. 

The character was inspired by a Japanese folklore of Yanagi-baba (willow witch), who turns herself into a willow-tree to disguise herself and lure in young men to prey on them.
