Fantamorph Line Mode

[Wheat King]

Working on a morph and discovered the line tool for editing. It's basically a way to group dots. A nice feature if you are creating a multimorph of someone growing up. its a way to organize your dots so move things together. Way more efficient that moving each dot individually of selecting a bunch of dots and then moving them. Small trick wish I would have explored this feature a few morphs ago...

Good tip. Thanks Jamal.

Thanks Jamal! Will add this to my notes. Great tip.

Jamal, thanks for this. I have just got the rough version of my daughter's K - 12 morph done and it looks pretty good. I wondered what line mode meant (I suppose I could have tried it myself!).

While we have a Fantamorph thread going, the one thing that is a little rough on mine is the outline of the hair. Of course, hair styles change a lot over the course of 12 years. I am finding that if the subsequent image has hair that is "bigger" than the current image, the areas of the new one that are beyond the outline of the old one tend to sort of fade in rather than morphing smoothly from the outline of the current image to the outline of the new one (hope that makes sense). Will putting the dots a bit outside the outline on the existing image and just inside the outline on the next one fix that? I saw that tip in one of the threads after I had placed my dots but wanted to check before I have a go.

Of course, the next image becomes the first image in the next sequence of two images, so would that mean that I should move the dots on that one back to outside the image so I can repeat the above for this sequence...and so on?

The dots slightly on the outside for one and inside of the other was a tip from the Fantamorph forum. You would have to move them slightly for the next set.
