Free (or Cheap) Tool for doing morphing?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Free (or Cheap) Tool for doing morphing?

3D Studio Max is an incredible piece of software, from what I have read. But, the price is incredible, too, and affordable only for well-heeled dudes with deep pockets, or companies/professionals. I wish I was a student so I could pick it up for *only* $400-500USD (depending on where you buy it).

But, addressing the question raised, couln't that morph from a cube to a sphere, be done in reverse with native Blitz commands? What I mean is, start with a sphere, and use vertex commands to deform it until it becomes a cube?

Maybe some of you other guys who are more familiar with the commands could flesh out what I'm describing?
