Our very first go at morphing a still image. Crude, but we did see potential in the technique
Another composing experiment, this time it is digital smoke coming out of a skeletons eye sockets.
Our first experiments with water reflections was not very encouraging.
A very simple morphed walk cycle that later came back to hunt us.
These experiments with a cape and a flag blowing in the wind are examples of techniques that looked promising, but that we ultimately had to abandon.
