ABSTRACT:
A method of generating a morphing sequence utilizing a computer, the method comprising the step of user-defining respective components in a source object and a target object respectively, wherein each component comprises a plurality of local features of respective source and target meshes representing the source and target objects, and user-defining corresponding components between the source object and the target object. The method may further comprise the step of computer-deducing correspondences between components in the source and target objects based on the user-defined correspondences between other components.
