- Well, I got to toy around with MorphPlus a little. Unfortunately, the
- docs weren't around, so I had to wing it and kind of "ignore" some of
- the options. Anyway, these are things I noticed that weren't too
- attractive:
-
- 1) Almost every place that didn't have vectors on it, it looked like a
- crossfade between source pic and dest pic. This especiallly seemed to
- occur on faces and closeups.
-
- 2) One thing I found very annoying was that it saved all the frames in
- 24-bit format! And FRED wouldn't load these correctly for some reason..
- I had to use ADPro to convert them all to IFF HAM, and then FRED still
- wouldn't combine the pictures into an ANIM, so I had to do that by hand,
- too. Also, this particular anim was 320x200, and the src/dest pictures
- were both lo-res, nonlace, but it still saved it as interlace. I hope
- it's actually smarter than this and can build the animation for you! 20
- frames by hand isn't too bad, but 60 or 80....
-
- That's about it. Remember, I didn't have the manuals at hand, so I
- often guessed at certain parameters. Now can someone assure me that
- these things above can be remedied so I can go out and buy the thing? :)
- Other than the things above, I was majorly impressed w/ it, and am going
- to buy it ASAP. :)
