state of the art morphing software
Posted by Andrei-cristian Murgescu on September 18, 2006 at 2:47 pmHi people!
I’m seeking for a reliable and performant morphing software. Can any of you share you experience on the matter. Which software did you guys use, pros and cons, etc. etc.
Thanks,

It’s the best out there, will cut it for any morphing task and then some.

September 18, 2006 at 5:35 pmThere are several FREE apps that do a good job, I’m sure there are even better for pay. I listed these last week, but these are pretty good
Mac: MorphX
Windows: WinMorphI’ve had luck using files with transparency in MorphX, but haven’t played with WinMorph in a while (it was just for fun, in my case…)

September 18, 2006 at 5:49 pmOut of curiosity, what makes re:vision flex morph better than WinMorph or After Effect’s reshape filter? I’m looking at their website, and none of the features listed really seem like anything I can’t do in one of those two programs.

September 18, 2006 at 6:00 pmI seem to recall that Re:flex allowed greater control over what to morph, and by how much. This suited my project as it required a very tight, controlled, yet smooth morph of only one part of the image. It was just the ticket.
Hey, try the demo …

September 20, 2006 at 6:19 pmWe offer many features that other warping and morphing software do not.
We also have incorporated our automatic registration algorithms into RE:Flex. You can set up the basic morph and let RE:Flex match up the rest (of course, your mileage may vary and if the images are quite a bit different the auto-align feature may not do what you would desire… but it works great much of the time). The auto-align feature can be quite a time saver.
We also allow you to turn on and off splines used in the morph (great when you have a motion morph when you only need control of a feature for part of the sequence)
We have great blending control for matching up images when one of the image is offset from the other one (for example, only half of the 2 images overlap, you may not want to dissolve in black in the areas where one image does not touch the other).
We work in 16 bit and floating point. Of course, this may or may not be important to you.
We work directly within AE (and other host apps, of course!)
And, as Steve pointed out, we allow very fine control over the morphing process with respect to varying rates of dissolve and shape transition (we allow you to control the transition rates on each spline independently).
I’m sure I’m leaving a few things out 🙂
