>>, I'd say true 3D morphing of objects would be very cool..<< In order to do 3D morphing, you need direct access to each of the objects vertices. You then would have to interpolate the position of each vertice between the models… I think this would be possible in the _current_ implementation of tS, but you would have to break the object into tons of separate objects, each representing a face of the original. Uncool, unless you like faceted objects… Or, you could take the start & end models, and create 28 additional models (for a 30 frame morph), and swap them into & out of the camera view for each frame, but that would make your scenes pretty huge… Still, I think that would do it… Or…. wait till tS has an open API, and do it 'right'….
