In the Thumbnail pane on the left side, click the slide that you want to apply a transition to, which should be the second slide you added the object, picture, or words you'd like to apply the morph effect to.
To create Morph transitions, you need PowerPoint for the web, PowerPoint 2019 or PowerPoint for Microsoft 365. Other versions of PowerPoint (as listed below) can play Morph transitions but can't create them. We encourage you to get an Office 365 subscription to stay up to date with the latest Office features, including Morph.
Morph is a British series of clay stop-motion comedy animations, named after the main character, who is a small terracotta-skinned plasticine man, who speaks an unintelligible language and lives on a tabletop, with his bedroom being a small wooden box. Morph was initially seen interacting with Tony Hart, beginning in 1977, on several of his British television programmes, notably Take Hart, Hartbeat and SMart.
Morph was produced for the BBC by Aardman Animations, later famous for the "Sledgehammer" music video, Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Morph appears mainly in one-minute "shorts" interspersed throughout the Take Hart show. These are connected to the main show by having Hart deliver a line or two to Morph, who replies in gibberish but with meaningful gestures. Later on, Morph is joined by the cream-coloured Chas, who is much more troublesome and mischievous.
Morph can change shape. He becomes spheres in order to move around and extrudes into cylinders to pass to different levels of his environment. He can also mimic other objects or creatures. Morph lives in a wooden microscope box[citation needed] on an artist's desk. He and Chas both love to eat cake, as seen in many of the shorts. Most appearances of Morph revolve around his friendship and rivalry with Chas, with each often playing tricks on the other and laughing at each other's misfortune. While Morph's nature is that of an innocent, curious character, Chas is much more mischievous and prone to bad behaviour.
Morph's 30th birthday was celebrated in 2007 by creator Peter Lord and celebrity fan and comedian Phill Jupitus at events for the Encounters Film Festival in Bristol. In March 2009, shortly after Hart's death, a flashmob of Morph characters was organised in London outside the Tate Modern art gallery.[2]
In 2009, the BBC drama Ashes to Ashes featured Morph in a guest appearance as a representation of a present-day medic.[3] Morph was used to give a comic feeling despite a very serious situation in episode 3 of the second series. The character was pictured in an episode of Take Hart; however, Morph appeared on the television after it was turned off, separating it from the context of the Take Hart episode.
On 29 October 2013, Peter Lord (co-founder of Aardman Animations), created a fundraising project on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter. The campaign set a target of 75,000 to be used to fund 12 new one-minute episodes. The target was reached on 6 November 2013 after only nine days, attracting contributions from over 1,700 backers, who received a variety of rewards, including early access to the new animations and a small box of clay used in the production, depending on the individual's level of funding.[4][5] In January 2014, Peter Lord and Aardman began production on 15 new episodes featuring Morph. The new series premiered on Morph's official YouTube channel with 15 episodes from 4 July 2014 to 30 January 2015.
In 2015, a Morph experience opened at Land's End. The Land's End signpost was rebranded "Lamb's End" with original sets, models, and characters from a range of Aardman productions. Visitors were also able to star in a real Shaun the Sheep scene, using green-screen technology, and meet other characters from the Aardman family, including Shaun the Sheep and Wallace & Gromit.[6]
Released between 20 March and 2 October 2015, HD-restored versions of The Amazing Adventures of Morph appeared on YouTube; and in the summer of 2015, Morph returned to TV on CBBC with the 15 new episodes.[7] From 6 November 2015 to 7 January 2016, The Lost Tapes from 2001 were revealed having been redubbed and remastered on YouTube. In March 2016, it was announced that Sky had made a deal with Aardman Animations to produce new Morph material to be directed at its child audience.[8] From 6 May 2016 to 15 September 2017, all clips captured from Take Hart were revealed on the Morph YouTube channel. In August 2017, new Morph merchandise was shown at Wallace & Gromit's Charity Shop.[9] Between 2 March and 14 September 2018, 15 more episodes of the new Morph series that were previously shown on Sky Kids were shown on YouTube. From 15 February to 17 May 2019, all 13 episodes of The Morph Files that were remastered into HD were released on YouTube.
In May 2019, Morph and Chas appeared in an advert for Tesco as part of the company's centenary celebrations, which also featured celebrities Anneka Rice and Derrick Evans (the latter more commonly known as Mr. Motivator).[10]
The original 43 episodes of Morph were originally produced on the Aardman website back in 2006 and were re-used on Aardman's YouTube channel by around September 2008 until 2010, and Morph's YouTube channel from 4 November 2013 until 23 October 2015.The original episodes uses the same clips originally used from Take Hart, Hartbeat, SMart and The Morph Files.
The first series of the then-named Brand New Morph was released on YouTube from 4 July 2014 to 30 January 2015 with a Red Nose Day special being released on 6 March. The series also aired on CBBC throughout the summer of 2015.
The second series of Brand New Morph was released to Sky Kids in 2016 and then YouTube from 2 March 2018 until 14 September 2018, it is the first series being produced for Sky Kids, which streamed the first 2 series of Morph on Sky TV.
The third series of Brand New Morph made its way to Sky in 2018 and to YouTube on 12 February 2021 until 31 December 2021, with the episodes taking place during some special events that occurred during the year.
The Epic Adventures of Morph made its way to Sky in 2020, with the series re-released on YouTube between 1 April 2022 and 8 July 2022; the episodes' running time was also extended to five minutes. Delilah and Grandmorph made their return to the series as main characters also. The Very Small Creatures still appeared from time to time and Gillespie made a cameo in 'Beanstalk.' Folly, along with Gobbledygook, however, did not appear once in the series.
We have recently moved from Archicad 22 to 25. Until now it has been a breeze of a transaction, but I today I got stuck with morph editing.
Maybe it's a little hook missing somewhere. Maybe I am crazy. But I can't edit my morphs the same way as I could in Archicad 22.
Unfortunately because I am not very proficient with morphs (I use them as a last resort only), I am not sure which menu/setting/definition I might need to trigger to be able to get the full menu.
Thank you for your help...
In attachment I have placed a screenshot from archicad 25 versus archicad 22 menu options.
For those having the same problem in the future that might end up in my post: my problem was indeed because of importing my profile from archicad22 to the 25 work environment. I am not sure exactly which setting what messing up the morph menu, but I ended up redoing and re-saving my profile inside archicad25 and everything is working again.
Yes. I have the feeling this might be a problem with the work environment. I copied my old profile from archicad 22, and it might be the reason why I'm not seeing all the menu options... Unfortunately I don't know which hook to trigger to get the missing options, but I just started 25 with a default work environment and the options showed up...
Holy crap, I really don't need the work of redoing my profile T_T
Google has led me to this question whose answers I was looking for and as I have not seen that it has been solved correctly I have lost an hour trying to figure out how to fix it, the solution is simple, just disable the hidden geometry.
Google me ha llevado a esta pregunta cuya respuestas buscaba y como no he visto que haya sido solucionada correctamente he perdido una hora intentando averiguar como arreglarlo, la solucin es sencilla, solo hay que desactivar la geometra de forma oculta.
Hi Barry, I have no idea what happened. Fact is - I copy pasted the same morphs to a empty file with the standard work environment and suddenly the menu has everything that I need. Then I loaded my saved profile (which has the menu positions and the shortcuts saved) and the menu was suddenly gone.
The menu option I needed is also available for single morph planes, not just for solids.
Here's a screenshot of the now solved situation:
I can't explain what's the cause, fact is, the problem was solved once I re-saved my profile from scratch. I'm just glad I eventually found a solution even if it might be a happy coincidence.
Hi,
I have created plane voronoi cells extrusion on a source planar surface and want to map them to a surface that is simply connected (with a hole in the middle). I replicated the steps in several tutorials, but when I surface morph the cells onto this surface, the boundaries of the surface are not respected and the hole in the middle is also populated while it should not. You can see that in the screenshot below, the surface is in yellow (and symmetric about the clipping plane), and is on the inner side of the model.
