Pufferfish
The Pufferfish is one of few animals which is capable of changing its shape.
This plugin is a set of 330 components which focuses on Tweens, Blends, Morphs, Averages, Transformations, & Interpolations - essentially Shape Changing. Pufferfish mainly uses parameters and factors for inputs for more custom control over operations like tweens and grids as opposed to grasshoppers usual division count inputs. These components are accompanied by support components which are useful methods for tween / blend / morph / lattice operations such as making curves compatible, a custom curve graph mapper, and a multi-threaded morph to twisted box. In addition, there are extra components which simplify some common grasshopper operations such as testing for equality within a tolerance and rounding to nearest numbers. Please email me if you find any bugs. Works with Grasshopper for Rhino 5, Rhino 6, Rhino 7 WIP, and Rhino Mac.

How can i morph a collection of curves (as 1 object/module/Unit) using Pufferfish ?
Hi Michael,
I am running into a problem when i try to morph a collection of curves after dividing 2 surfaces using pufferfish component ''TwistedBox2Srf''.
Here is the shape : (See image 1)
The component ''Morph'' turns Red saying ''Cannot morph from a degenerate box'' (image 2),
that's because every curve generates a box (image 3).
After what i check the Option ''Union'' box to make only one box for all the curves (image 4).
However, the result is aleatory and not accurate at all ... :/ (see image 6).
I know you are developing Pufferfish and not ''Morph'' component, but recently you publish on instagram a video where i believe you could morph and Twist with success a collection of curves (please see image 7 and 8)...
If you could give me a hint how that can be achieved, it would be awesome.
(Piping/Meshing the curves with very small diameter will perhaps work and help for visualisation purposes, but i actually just need morphing Raw curves for fabrication purposes).
Hope to read you very soon...
Ghali,
Michael Pryor
This is a list issue. You need to either graft the twisted boxes into box morph or group the curves and plug the group into the box morph geometry. Right now you are Morphing one curve to each box and the remaining all go to the last box (longest list rules)
Side note about a degenerate box, this means it is a box that is flat with no volume, so there would be no way to morph from that.
