the best way ive found is t create 2 object one which will represent the original and match its geomentry, the other to match the second and its geometry. once i get there the hard part begins. morph both models half way to the others form, i use a script i got from highend 3d web site, then key the transparency so when they meet the same shape fade one out and the other in.
