Hi there Gary, I'd like to ask you something concerning morphing… I know it isn't possible to morph to objects with a different number of faces, or vertices, will this be possible in R3? Is there another way of doing this? Thanks Alex K.

Well, I hate to bud into your questioning with Gary (since I'm sure he could give you much more effective advice), but maybe you could "cheating" a little by combining morphing with the video post cross fade. ie: 1) Morph the source object into an "intermediate" shape object 2) Morph the destination object FROM the "intermediate" shape object TO the actual destination object. 3) Cross fade these two animations in Video Post. You'd be surprised how effective this method this could be if done correctly. Of course, I haven't actually DONE it myself yet but it sounds like a good idea! <g> — Steve, hope it helps
