***************************************

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.
