There is good advice in the previous answers but here are some extra thoughts.
1. download an image morphing program with sample files, there are a couple of
good ones in the graphics forum. Then look at the logic required to morph one
image to another successfully…. grid point to grid point. The same logic
applies to morphing your letters but instead of a user definable grid you are
constrained by the vertices of the meshes. Firstly arrange the order of the
vertices to get the right effect.
2. Consider this …. (back in 3dsstart by morphing 2D shapes flat-on, going
from S to L may result in strange shapes. Snapshot the intermediate position
and edit the vertices to get the intermediate shapes you really want. Then
extrude all the intermediates, go back to the keyframer and morph between each
of those.
This is not a "worked out" technique, just some thoughts for experimentation.
Good luck …………. Grahame
