algorithm for shape shifting between two images

Sorry I haven't googled this yet but I'm wondering if people have any knowledge of algorithms for shape shifting between two distinct images yet.

Eg - I have a picture of a cube and a picture of a sphere and I want to morph between them.

It doesn't have to be real time - it can be computed / rendered as a series of images although real time morphing would be fantastic too.

I'd imagine it is simply about interpolating pixel colours between two shapes over a series of frames but i'm not sure if that is the best way of doing it.

do a search for 'pantson.Morph'

This is one online tool I found. Seems like a straight image fade though, so probably useless.

One would expect this to be a pretty common feature in drawing applications these days as it was already there at the time of the Amiga, but guess not.
