Sorry to ask, but have you tied the search button?

I have, i see ways / some examples, but im not sure about how to go about box morphing a surface with blended shapes in GH. Like the image above from panel tools

Here's a basic approach to blending two curves:

 

and here's an application of that approach tiling the results on a surface, where the distance from an attractor point controls the degree of morph:

Thanks much, based on my readings I suppose the same approach with 3d geometries would consist of meshes and maintaining the vertices count.

Yeah exactly. Or maintaining control points if you're working with single surfaces.
