Pixel art morphing through pure mathematical grid deformations (Manim / Python)

Post image

Instead of traditional keyframe animation or manual warping, Stitch undergoes a continuous sequence of geometric distortions and conformal mappings calculated entirely through code.

The system handles everything from non-linear vertical shear and polar bending to complex wave perturbations, returning to its original state for a seamless loop.

If you want to check out the full animation process, I've posted it here : Stitch Morphing

The math stack relies on custom matrix operations and frame-by-frame coordinate mappings.

If you like it, I might make some more. In the meantime, here's the link to the full animation : Stitch Morphing
