Feature-Based Volume Metamorphosis

Video excerpts

All the renderings shown here, including both static images and movies, are volume renderings, not polygon renderings. For static images, the original figures (in losslessly compressed TIFF format) can be retrieved by clicking on the corresponding thumbnail.

The following MPEG movies do not capture the full quality of the morphs.


Human to orangutan morph

The human head on the left is transformed into the orangutan head on the right; the halfway morph is shown in the middle. Both volumes were obtained by CT scans. The plastic cast of the orangutan head was lent to us by John W. Rick and was CT scanned with the help of Paul F. Hemler. Three movies are available:


Dart to X-29 morph

The dart on the left is transformed into the X-29 on the right; the halfway morph is shown in the middle. Both original volumes were obtained by scan-converting polygon meshes. Four movies are available:


Lion to leopard-horse morph

The lion on the left is transformed into the leopard-horse on the right; the halfway morph is shown in the middle. Both original volumes were obtained by scan-converting polygon meshes. The lion mesh was put together by Greg Turk as part of his research on our scanner project. We used the horse mesh courtesy of Rhythm and Hues, the color added by Greg Turk using his reaction-diffusion textures. Three movies are available:
