Yeah, I understand how to do the process but I have had problems with
it. First of all the object I was morphing is "U" shaped to fit
inside the well. All I did was stretch it out in the modeler and
saved it as another object. So I have the same points. I load both
the original "u"shaped object which is flat, and then I load the
stretched version and move it out of the way. I choose the morph
target and begin the process. However, rather than just growing up to
become the second object it seems to shrink and twist and then
tranform into the other object. At the same time it's location sinks.
What the Hell Am I Doing??!!
