I like the part when you say that about "frames that are real data" :) In what sense some of them are real? Foldedwater (talk) 17:03, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Based on actual scientific research, aiming for an authentic reconstruction of past conditions; morphing, by contrast, will only do linear interpolation (or some more sophisticated 2D manipulation). Morphing cannot take into account plate tectonics, that would be *way* more advanced. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 22:27, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
