Hi !
Okay, antoher question for special-effects: Are there any Morphing-tools
available ?

There are none that I am aware of. Chris Colefax has this on his list of
possible future include file projects but he has released nothing to the
public that I am aware of. There are of course many 3rd party morphing
programs you could try using for a final image using post processing.

Do you need to morph a 3D object into another one or a 2D imahe into
another one?

Chris Colefax is the key! I'm not sure which of his macros and includes
does morphing, but I've seen in one of their accompanying examples a
sphere morphing into a torus. I did some texture morphing with the
Clockmod macro.

Chris usualy is the key where such things as these are concerned :)
It is part of the compressed mesh macro include file but is limited to
triangle based object only i.e. it will not work on any of POV-Ray's
standard primitives other than a triangle mesh that has been properly
processed.

Hi !
Thanx for your answer. Since I'm a newbee, could you tell me where to
find the stuff of Chris Colefax ;-) Thanx again !

Martin

As a newbie you need to learn how to use the links pages I maintain on
my own site and at povray.org :)
Just in case you are not in the mood to see the premier collection of POV-Ray
related resouces ever gathered together in one online links collection I will
give you the address that you requested -

Ken, have you ever played with Dave Mason's DMorph? Oh, by the way,
it's a program <bg><LOL>. Works under MS-DOS.
It works as post processing for two similar or dissimilar images. The
user places the common mesh points on the two images, which are
displayed side by side in DMorph. I wish I still had a copy from
CompuServe but maybe you or Dave has a copy. It was a lot of fun to use.

I did try it a couple of times in the past but never got very far with
it. When I finally got around to buying a CD player I got a morph program
surprisingly enough called Morph for $3 at a shareware store and it runs
under Windows, can do stills or movies, and is much easier to use. I have
morphed a couple of my Pov scenes into AVI animations with it, and my talent
with that software, poor as it is, achieved some rather amazing results.
I may very well have a copy of DMorph around here somewhere if you really
want to play with it but there are other morphing program on the shareware
sites now that make it look rather primitive.
Ooops - Yahoo to the rescue - DMorph

I had succeffully done this with POV but lost the include a couple of
weeks ago when my sources died. If there's interest I can try to redo
it from scratch. I think using splines (like in Elastic Reality) would
be a better idea, but then again, a points mesh works fine in simple
cases.
