  1. Morphing

  2. What is Morphing • Morphing is an effect that can be used to manipulate still images or to create interesting animated transformations. • Morphing allows you to smoothly blend two images so that one image seems to melt into the next often producing some amusing results.

  3. What is Morphing • Morphing is a special effect in motion pictures and animations that changes (or morphs) one image into another through a seamless transition. • Most often it is used to depict one person turning into another through technological means or as part of a fantasy or surreal sequence.

  4. What is Morphing? • Morphing in short transform one image into another. • Morphing tool can transition also moving images.

  5. Early examples of morphing • The first movie to employ detailed morphing was Willow, in 1988. • In 1991, morphing appeared notably in the Michael Jackson music video Black Or White. And in the movies Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

  6. Early examples of morphing • The first application for personal computers to offer morphing was Gryphon Software Morph on the Macintosh. • E.g. you can use Gryphon to change girls into boy. • Other early morphing systems included ImageMaster, MorphPlus and CineMorph, all of which premiered for the Commodore Amiga in 1992.

  7. Other Morphing Software • Other products include Avid’s elastic reality, Human Software’s Squizz, ImageWare’s MorphWizard, MetaTools Digital Morph, North Coast’s PhotoMorph.

  8. Morphing Example • Three frames form a morph from George W. Bush to Arnold Schwarzenegger showing the mid-point between the two extremes

  9. Morphing Techniques • These involved distorting one image at the same time that it faded into another through marking corresponding points and vectors on the "before" and "after" images used in the morph. • For example, one would morph one face into another by marking key points on the first face, such as the contour of the nose or location of an eye, and mark where these same points existed on the second face.

  10. Morphing Techniques • The computer would then distort the first face to have the shape of the second face at the same time that it faded the two faces.
