Image Order (Source -> Target)
You should morph from the source (you) to the target. We will add Hans, Jeroen, and Madeleine ourselves at the end (unless Madeleine wants to implement her own morph).

Neil -> George

Miriah -> Joel
Joel -> Matt
Matt -> Gershon
Gershon -> Karl
Karl -> Jeroen
Jeoren -> Hans
Hans -> Madeleine
Madeleine -> Neil

Realistic Ray Tracing by Peter Shirley
From amazon.com:
From Book News, Inc.
Not those streaks across the visual field on an LSD trip, but algorithms that can trace the path of virtual light through a computer graphic to help give the illusion of three dimensions. Shirley (U. of Utah) guides graphics programmers through the steps of creating a ray tracing program, and using it to create advanced special effects. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
