Several members of the Elastic Reality team including three original members, one almost original member, and one member who came later. The application supported 8-bit and 16-bit images, and image sequences. The application also featured basic color correction and image compositing tools, as well as the ability to keyframe the motion of bézier shapes in groups and onto motion paths, and could be used for motion graphics effects not typically associated with morphing.
Other warping tools have typically offered a simpler warping and morphing based on animating points on a grid, which can require significantly more work from the artist to animate distortion of organic shapes such as human faces. Elastic Reality made its name with the ease of use of its tool, and the quality of the resulting warps. If the warp is used to blend two images together, the effect is called morphing. The software then automatically generates an animated distortion of the image, commonly called a warp. The workflow of the application is based around drawing source and destination curves or shapes onto an image using bézier curve tools. Avid Elastic Reality setup with SGI Octane and WACOM graphics tabletĮlastic Reality was a warping and morphing software application available on Windows, Macintosh, and Silicon Graphics workstations and was discontinued in 1999.
