Hi Guys, Thanks for you encouraging comments ! Well 30 peripheral points is still not enough to produce a recognizable Sir Clive portrait... as you can see. But it does allow for more flexible sketches. here are the results of entering data for 3 morphs : I will get my head around animations next. N...

Hi again, One problem I am finding is that 12 peripheral summits are not enough. So I will rewrite the arrays to cater for more detailed objects. 16 intermediate forms are adequate, 32 are rather slow. FILLing is non-re-entrant, so I will not use it, to allow simple articulations. The screen shots s...

Hi everybody,

Here is the latest version of the animated Morphing prototype. (Just starting to develop it for animating moving objects too).

Where will it go from here ? Steve.

Hi All, Just a couple of changes to a For loop, and now the morphing gets animated as you would expect. Each character now deforms progressively into the other ! (I had to construct this code step by step, to avoid memory usage). Still needs some more thought though, before releasing the version. He...

Hi Folks, Just tweaked the program to animate the morphing process better. No need for a new version yet, as development is underway. But I did have to add a couple of extra arrays, to enable a 'playback', after the initial calculation run: Q to 3 and Q to 4. Regards, Steve. Capture d’écran (194).pn...

Morphing in progress on two characters . Steve.

Hi Folks, I tried to write a New Year program with 2023 morphing into 2024, but did not have enough time. Since, I doodled around and messed about with the idea that this year QL is 40, and completed the demo routine. The principal is to define characters using 12 numbered summits, and then swap the...

Here's one posted for Halloween, by Mark Swift, if I remeber correctly, but which works fine for other fêtes...
A lot of work must have gone into it.....

Hi All,

Just a sceen shot...

Hi Folks,
This is not so much a Xmas Card as a SuperBasic Xmas animation..... written weeks ago. Regards, Steve.
