This paper describes an algorithm for morphing polyhedral surfaces based on their decompositions into patches. The given surfaces need neither be genus‐zero nor two‐manifolds. We present a new algorithm for decomposing surfaces into patches. We also present a new projection scheme that handles topologically cylinder‐like polyhedral surfaces. We show how these two new techniques can be used within a general framework and result with morph sequences that maintain the distinctive features of the input models. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.5 [Computational Geometry and Object Modeling]: Boundary representations I.3.7 [Three‐Dimensional Graphics and Realism]: Animation
