Morphs are point-to-point, so the point ordering of the objects is
crucial.  Polygons that aren't triangles can also be easily twisted in
mid-morph, even if all of the points match up correctly.

A common approach is to start with one of the objects, triple it, then
model toward the other object using techniques that won't force Modeler
to rebuild the point list.  Deformations are usually okay, but cut and
paste sometimes aren't.
