I am having difficulty morphing from one image to another. When all options have been entered into the apporpriate file requesters, and after creating the necessary vectors between two images (in a still morph) I choose the Accept item from the menu. When the program begins morphing the source image (at frame 1) the following error is encountered: The WARP operator failed "System 3.0:owl.pic" — sample image from you "Module Not Found" The program was morphing fine until today (in fact I have done dozens of succesful morphs until this morning). I loaded the program and tried morphing two images and kept on receiving the above error with the exception that the image name was different. I reloaded Morph Plus and continued to receive the error. I deleted the entire program and reloaded it and still continue to receive the error. I decided to load the sample images you provide for morphing the baby face into an owl and still received the above error. What is going on? Could you please let me know what I am doing wrong as soon as possible as a particular part of a current video I am working on requires morphing.

I suspect that Morph plus believes owl.pic to be a picture stored in PICT format because of the .pic extension to the name. Try renaming the file to OWL and loading it with the IFF loader. If You load pictures with the UNIVERSAL loader Morph plus takes the file name in to account when trying to guess the file formay of the image. Hope this helps

I finally got a hold of ASDG technical support. Acutally the problem was within the startup sequence. Somehow the data within the sequence was not able to find the Warp operator. It turned out that the startup script was trying to load Morph Plus twice. Chris from ASDG's tech support walked me though it and had me modify the script using the text editor (he was a real nice guy and even agreed to stay late on Friday to help me out). Thanks for the help though. I am glad that I can count on forum members to offer suggestions and hints. Morph till you can morph no more. Adib
