SUMMARY
=======
 
This article provides the following method for sharing shape and lattice
animation between scenes:
 
1. Create a scene that only contains the object to which you will apply
   Shape or Lattice Animation.
 
2. Apply a basic Lattice, or Shape animation
 
3. Choose Info -> Elements and click Set Shared for both the object and the
   Lattice or Shape.
 
4. Save the scene.
 
Now you can and import the object and it's animation into other scenes by
choosing Get -> Scene. When you change the Shape or Lattice animation in
one scene, the changes are reflected in another.
