Morphing Lab
Today you'll build the data for the class morph film; i.e. your face will morph into one of your classmates. If you encounter a problem with the software let me know immediately. At this point the interface is rudimentary. Please make suggestions on how it can be improved. Start by downloading
Run the program morph.The program morph allows you to enter the feature lines that control the warps between "source.bmp" (on the left) and "destination.bmp" (on the right). You'll start with a simple example before moving on to the class images. Right click for a menu of options and select help for a description of the interface.
Once you have constructed and saved your features you can test them using morphguts. This program reads "source.bmp", "destination.bmp", and "morph.dat" and displays the two images. It will create an in-between based on the percentage you supply. Right-click for info on the options and interface.
Once you've gotten the hang of the program you should construct the feature set for the morph from your image to the one following you in the images linked here. Start with a small feature set and add more until you are happy (no need to over-do it though). Rename the data file "morph.dat" to FROM_TO where FROM is your first name and TO is the first name of the person following you in the list. Then mail this file to me. I will run a batch program to create the intermediate images and complete the film.
