Attached is a simple patch that morphs between models using 

jit.gl.gridshape to display the geometry.

Also attached, are 2 very simple objects, one Cube, and one Cube with 

While it works, what is odd is that it seems as though jitter is 

choosing to normalize the largest points in the two models the same 

points ie: - rather than morphing the 2 verts 'out', it decides to 

morph the body of the cube in. Opening the .obj file format clearly 

shows the 2 modified vertices as being further out from the origin in 

cube 2.obj than in cube 1.obj, and the body (the other verts), 

staying in the same position. Jitter does the opposite, morphing the 

body 'in' towards the origin, rather than taking the 2 verts and 

morphing them further away (as the obj was made this way in Wings 3D)

Anyone have any clues where this behavior is coming from? Changing 

the order of which model hits the xfade first doesnt seem to make a 

difference. Im wondering where in the chain the coordinate system is 

Please note (if it matters), I am running Max 4.5.6 on mac OS X

jit.gl.model normalizes the coordinate system for models to -1 to 1 

for all axes by default. Sounds like you want to disable this with

Thanks a ton Josh, this is exactly what I needed.
