Free morphing software to realistically morph two images or animations via a graphics tool that lets you morph from one image to another, save your morphs as a sequence of BMP files or as an uncompressed AVI file.

7 Image Morphing Versus 3-D Morphing

http://www-graphics.stanford.edu/papers/morph/paper/node2.html

The difference between image morphing as the construction of an image sequence depicting a gradual transition between two 2D images and images generated from 3D models. For images generated from 3D models, there is an alternative to morphing the images themselves: 3D morphing generates intermediate 3D models, the morphs, directly from the given models, the morphs are then rendered to produce an image sequence depicting the transformation.

8 Project Description for Part Morphing
