morphing
Gradual image transformation
Morphing is the smooth transformation of one image into another through computer animation, where features gradually shift and blend: The software morphed his face into a wolf.
The term extends beyond digital effects to any gradual transformation: The company kept morphing into something new.
From metamorphosis.
