Come on folks...examples, platforms, detailed descriptions to
reproduce? It's hard to for us to speculate on exact conditions, and
we're too busy with a variety of development tasks here to take stabs
in the dark based on vague information. Help us help you.

Without this info I can only speculate that you are trying to
interpolate between mismatched size geometries or otherwise
truncating wither the dimensions or the plane count of the matrices.
Note that the matrix output of jit.gl.model is *very* different than
that of jit.gl.gridshape. It sends a sequence of matrices (one for
each group), and they are of triangles, rather than the grid format
of jit.gl.gridshape where connectivity is implicit in the data
organization.

Personally I see little use of trying to morph between models in this
fashion, unless the models were very carefully created to both have
the same number of vertices which would roughly correspond to one
another's values. Otherwise I would suggest employing some higher
level logic and perhaps JS or Java to try and figure out intelligent
ways to morph between the geometries.
