Morph Anything into Anything in After Effects Without Extra Plugins. In this tutorial, you will see the steps of morphing complex figures in After Effects. You don't need any extra plugins or programs for the animation. There are three examples of animation workflow. All of them are based on a simple principle: break the animation into steps, and morph a figure to the transitional state. In the end, you can see a screencast of a workflow on morphing a human face into Hulk.
