-
- The first 2 Dimensional Morpher for Atari ST/TT/Falcon
-
- Metmorphosis 24 can morph between two same TIFF pictures and create an
- intermediate morph of the two images. After having loaded your source
- and target frames you can not only produce single frames but tween
- whole keyframe animations in 24bit.
-
- Using set points to determine the morphing control points you can
- tell the program what points need to be morphed from the source and
- the target frame, the more points you add, the more detailed the
- morph will be.
-
- Some features are:
-
- - Easy and User Friendly Interface
- - Intuitive Toolbox (5 basic tools)
- - 4 levels of morphing depth
- - toggle rip on/off
- - Multitos/Mag'X Compatibility and Support
- - Complete GEM Windows Interface
- - TIFF Support
- - FPU Support
-
- - ST/TT/Falcon/Clones Support

- * A short description of Morphing
-
- A Morph converts one object ito another over several frames (tweening).
- To morph between two images the area that you wish to morph/change needs
- to be outlined in the source and target frame which become your
- "key"-frames. Over a specified number of frames in a process known as
- tweening Metamorphosis 24 moves the points set in the "key"-frames and
- while changing, will retain a certain percentage of each of the intermittent
- frames.
-
- * What do I need to run this program
-
- Metamorphosis is a product that will run on any Atari ST, STe, TT (with
- Graphics Board), Falcon in upto 256 colors. The final results are
- stored as 24bit Truecolor Tiff's, even if you run the program in monochrome
- mode, Metamorphosis will always work in a True Color mode and save off
- it's files as such. Minimum requirements are a 1040 ST with 1 Megabyte
- but a 4 Megabyte System is recommended. Depending on your depth of
- calculation, it could take some time to render one frame, ultimately
- a TT or a Falcon would be ideal (with FPU). Metamorphosis supports the
- FPU, but does not require one.
-
- * What about animations?
-
- Metamorphosis can not only tween from one frame to another, but it will
- also tween from as many frames as the user decides (99 max). The whole
- process is automatic, once the user has defined the key-frames of the
- animation.
-
- * How do I play them back?
-
- Metamorphosis has a player that will run in 256 color modes on nearly
- every Graphic Board for the TT, Mega STe or Falcon.
-
- * Why would I want it?
-
- Metamorphosis is a unique product in the atari platform. People who
- enjoy doing graphic work will find a new and innovative tool of
- graphic manipulation on their atari (for painters and animators), but
- Metamorphosis requires no artistic skills what-so-ever to make
- stunning results. The final results can be used to print in
- Newsletters or any other DTP application, put on Video or make
- presentations on your Atari. This product is for anyone remotely
- interested in graphics work on their atari for hobby users and
- professionals.
-
- One of the most famous examples of this kind of Morphing was the
- Micheal Jackson Video "Dangerous", the end sequences featured
- several faces morphing into and onto each other. These kinds of
- effects are now possible on your Atari System using Metamorphosis 24.
