Environmental sensitive morphing method

Most shape transformation methods assume that the shape being transformed is the only object in the environment. However, in animation, it is natural to assume that shape transformation takes place under certain environmental restrictions. We developed a shape transformation method that makes it possible for a 2D polygon to be morphed in the presence of other possibly-moving objects.
