+# Deforming Objects Workflow Tests
+
+Testing in this area should focus on the Deforming Objects.
+
+## General Docs
+
+* [O3DE Animation Editor Concepts and Terms](https://www.o3de.org/docs/user-guide/visualization/animation/character-editor/concepts-and-terms/)
+* [O3DE Animation Editor User Interface](https://www.o3de.org/docs/user-guide/visualization/animation/animation-editor/user-interface/)
+* [O3DE Getting Started With Animation Editor](https://www.o3de.org/docs/user-guide/visualization/animation/animation-editor/quick-start/)
+
+## Common Issues to Watch For
+
+Test guidance will sometimes note specific issues to watch for. The common issues below should be watched for through all testing, even if unrelated to the current workflow being tested.
+- Asset processor errors when saving animation settings.
+- Warnings or Errors that appear in the Editor Console Log while setting up or running scenes.
+- Errors appearing in the Animation Editor's Log Window view.
+- Broken Animation behaviors.

+## Workflows
+
+### Area: Morphing
+
+**Project Requirements**
+
+Any project that has the following Gems enabled:
+
+* O3DE\Gems\EMotionFX
+* O3DE\Gems\ScriptedEntityTweener
+* O3DE\Gems\PrimitiveAssets
+
+Assets:
+* Actor with morph targets and morph animation is present in the project.
+* Alternatively - Actor included in AutomatedTesting project - [morphActor](https://github.com/o3de/o3de/tree/development/AutomatedTesting/Objects/MorphTargets)
+
+**Platforms:**
+* Windows
+* Linux
+
+**Docs:**
+* [Using Morph Targets to Deform Characters](https://www.o3de.org/docs/user-guide/visualization/animation/animation-editor/using-morph-targets-to-deform-characters/)
+
+**Product:** 
+Actor with morph targets plays morph animation in the Animation Editor.
+
+**Suggested Time Box:** 30 minutes per platform.
+
+| Workflow                     | Requests           | Things to Watch For |
+|------------------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
+| **Import Actor with morph targets and morph animation to the Animation Editor**                         | <ol><li>Load imported Actor in the Animation Editor: <br/> File -> Open Actor</li><li>Create a Motion Set with imported actor motions in the Motion Sets tab.</li></ol> | <ul><li>Actor is imported without any issues.</li><li>Motion Sets can be created, updated, deleted.</li><li>Motions can be added, updated, and deleted to/from motion sets.</li><li>Motion Sets are saved and processed in the Asset Processor.</li></ul>  |
+| **Play morph motion**                         | <ol><li>Select morph motion in the Motions window inside the Motion Sets tab.</li><li>In the Time View tab, press Play button.</li></ol> | <ul><li>Actor mesh is distorted while the motion is active.</li><li>Error messages appear in the Animation Editor.</li><li>Editor stability issues, performance drops.</li></ul>
+| **Manipulate Morph Targets** | <ol><li>Switch the Animation Editor layout to "Character" in the upper-right corner of the Animation Editor.</li><li>Select Actor instance in the Actor Manager tab.</li><li>In the Morph Targets tab, check the desired morph targets.</li><li>Edit morph target by pressing the Edit button, set Range Min. and Range Max. to various values.</li><li>Manipulate morph targets by using the sliders or the value fields.</li><br/>![Morph Targets Tab](images/morph-targets-tab.png)</ol> | <ul><li>Stability issues when switching the Animation Editor layout.</li><li>Morph targets of the actor are not displayed in the Morph Targets tab.</li><li>Morph targets Range Min and Range Max cannot be edited.</li><li>Manipulating morph targets does not modify the actors mesh in the Animation Editor Viewport.</li><li>Manipulating morph targets causes the actor mesh disruption in the Animation Editor Viewport.</li></ul>

+### Area: Level of Detail
+
+**Project Requirements**
+
+Any project that has the following Gems enabled:
+
+* O3DE\Gems\EMotionFX
+* O3DE\Gems\ScriptedEntityTweener
+* O3DE\Gems\PrimitiveAssets
+
+Assets:
+* Actor with Level of Detail is present in the project.

+**Platforms:**
+* Windows
+* Linux
+
+**Docs:**
+* [Scene Settings](https://www.o3de.org/docs/user-guide/assets/scene-settings/scene-settings/)
+* [Using Actor LODs to Optimize Game Performance](https://www.o3de.org/docs/user-guide/visualization/animation/using-actor-lods-optimize-game-performance/)
+
+**Product:** 
+Actor with Level of Detail setup working in the Editor.
+
+**Suggested Time Box:** 30 minutes per platform.
+
+| Workflow                     | Requests           | Things to Watch For |
+|------------------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
+| **Import actor with Level of Detail setup**                         | <ol><li>Open Scene Settings for the imported actor - In the Asset Browser find the imported actor, press RMB on it and select the Edit Scene Settings.</li><li>In the Meshes tab, add Level of Detail modifier.</li><li>Add a LOD in Level of Detail modifier and assign a desired LOD mesh in each added LOD.</li></ol> <br/> ![Scene Settings tool LOD Modifier](images/scene-settings-lod-modifier.png) | <ul><li>Actor is imported without any issues.</li><li>Scene Settings tool opens without issues for the imported actor.</li><li>Level of Detail modifier can be added to the actor in Scene Settings tool.</li><li>LODs can be added in Level of Detail modifier.</li></ul>  |
+| **Create an entity with Level of Detail**                         | <ol><li>Create a new entity with Actor and Simple LOD Distance components.</li><li>In the Actor component assign previously modified actor with Level of Detail modifier.</li><li>In Simple LOD Distance component, define distance from camera at which particular LOD meshes should be displayed.</li></ol> | <ul><li>The actors mesh is not modified when the camera is zoomed out for a certain distance.</li><li>Errors appear in Editor Console.</li><li>Editor stability issues, performance drops.</li></ul>
