[Bf-vfx] Feature request: warping and morphing node

[Sean Kennedy]

I also would really love to someday see some great warping tools in the compositor. There's a many smaller things I'd love to see tended to before that, however. But, for the record, I second some warping and morphing tools. They're useful for tons of things, from bringing still images and matte paintings to life (moving some smoke, a tree blowing in the wind) to rig and wire removals (slightly warping a painted patch into place instead of making a full 3d image patch).
It's also useful to have both kinds of warps available - spline warping and a grid warper. Both are very different and useful in their own ways.

HI all,
I think a great addition to the compositor would be a warping/morphing node.
there are many solution available in other packages and I think the most powerful still remain the one driven by shape.


here a sample to show how it works:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SthlyRNXbkU#t=822



some field of application:
1. working with shot sequences reveals in many cases the need of slightly deform the footage to better fit in the "main shot" 
2. is it possible to achieve aesthetic changes over character like things you've seen in the previous video, I also used it to make a character younger https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=1pNqVC1HNMQ#t=61


3. is it possible to make morph effects and match live video with a 3d element: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=1pNqVC1HNMQ#t=26


4. is a real huge help while some cheat as to be made to extend something just a little bit more or there is some patch to quickly add that would be a panic task in the classic way.

well there are much more application possible but I think the above examples are enough to figure out how powerful the warp and morph tool is and how many application can have!



Hope someone will consider to add it in the future, maybe after the image canvas issue is addressed.

Thanks
Francesco
