Chapter 27 Warping and Morphing Images 859
When readjusting the target shapes you’ve created, the sheer number of shapes
needed to create your morphing effect may make the Viewer a little crowded, making
it difficult to adjust individual shapes. You may find it’s easier if you hide every shape
except the one you want to work on. You can hide all of the target shapes by right-
clicking in the Viewer, then choosing Shape Visibility > Hide All Shapes from the
shortcut menu. Afterwards, right-click again, then choose the name of the first target
shape you want to edit from the shortcut menu. The shape reappears in the Viewer,
ready for editing. Continue hiding and showing individual shapes as necessary until
you’ve adjusted them all.
8 If necessary, animate the target shapes you’ve just created to match any motion in the
target image.
9 Adjust the overallDisplacement parameter to control how much warp is applied to
push the pixels from the source shapes to the target shapes you’ve defined.
Note: The overallDisplacement parameter operates on all source/target shape pairs in
the node simultaneously.
10 To animate the morphing effect, keyframe the overallDisplacement parameter. To see
the morphing effect in the Viewer as you adjust the overallDisplacement slider, you
must choose Morphed Image in the Select Display Image pop-up menu in the Viewer
shelf. You can also set the Viewer to display the morphed image by pressing F11.
