It's easy to smoothly blend one polygon into another if they have the same vertex/edge count. However if this is not the case then someone needs to decide how the blending happens.

The Tween Curve component makes this decision for you, however it probably doesn't make it in a way you like:

If you carefully create the corner points on both sides of the blend, then you have a lot of control over how it happens:

But you may still be looking for a different way. Perhaps the blend is better defined as several simple shapes (rectangles, triangles) each moving and scaling independently to create a single outline?

Here's an example on how to treat a blend as an aggregate of rectangles. Benefit of this method is that it handles topological changes really well.
