well, the .gif file is like 20mb (40 if i make it loop), so i'm probably going to find an alternate media to use, probably avi.

The core before & after images are already bare (without backgrounds) so I was actually going to suggest someone try it out with their own morphing software. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out. :)

Never heard of compression goom? I see no reason you wouldn't be able to get it down to a more reasonable file size and still look decent.

i know about compression. i use 'optimize for gif' in GIMP, using only the differences in the layers rather than replacing the whole thing each time.

400 frames is nothing to laugh at :D

i'll try and have an .avi up in a bit, since that would probably work better.
here's the .gif file (11mb size, so i figured i wouldn't directly link it).

i couldn't get the beginning quite right, partially due to his hair being cropped off (rather than his whole head being available for me to morph).
the image's first and last frames are both 2000ms, while most of the rest are 40ms.

enjoy. :P

if anybody wants me to, i can make an alternate morph without a loop (jake -> lizard, repeat) for a smaller size.

Goom, that looks amazing! The transitions look WAY better when they are blended in like that! :D

thanks guys. i had a bit of a tough time because of the pose angle changing, but i don't think it looks too odd.
if anybody else wants to try something similar, i used a free program called sqirlz morph.
you have to tweak it a LOT to get anything that looks decent (in my eyes), though, so it can be time-consuming.
