This page contains the results of our 3D morphing approach based on level set methods. We have demonstrated our approach with three examples. The first morphs a dart into and X-29 jet. The second example also morphs a dart into an X-29, but has different initial conditions and produces a significantly different morphing sequence. In the final sequence a mug (or a dented log with a handle, as Al Barr would insist) morphs into a chain. This demonstrates how easily our level set approach handles drastic changes in topology.
