In order to get to the morphs we have in Keeper now I first experimented with different approaches. Here is one of the early tests in which "surflets" are used to transform from one to another mesh. I still love the "wiggly paths" during the transition.

Very happy with my time in the Barns Green Half Marathon today, especially as my training has been quite erratic recently.
Managed to score PBs for all major distances from 5K to Half! 🙂
