Shape morph

One shape turns smoothly into another. A shape changes smoothly from circle to square to star to heart, with its colour.

How the movement works

Use it to turn one icon or logo into another without a cut.

  1. 01Four shapes, 1.175 s each: circle → square with rounded-off corners → star → heart → back to circle. Base radius 64.
  2. 02Each segment holds first, then morphs to the next shape between 0.62 s and 0.04 s before its end (0.58 s).
  3. 03Every outline is stored as 240 points; points with the same index are linearly interpolated. Progress uses backOut (s = 1.6), so it overshoots slightly.
  4. 04Colour: blue → coral → yellow → mint, blended with quadratic ease-in-out.
  5. 05During the morph the scale swells by 1 + 0.07 × sin(π × progress).
  6. 06Four dots below; the dot for the current shape is larger and coloured.

Prompt

Morph the circle into a star in 0.8 s, changing the color from blue to yellow on the way.
