A new technique is presented for computing continuous shape transformations between polyhedral objects. The correspondence and the interpolation problems are considered jointly as we construct and process on sampling polyhedralmeshes of the objects. The approach is adapted to objects that are star-shaped around an axis. The process gives the animator a high level control over the shape transformation by providing natural specification and interaction.
