# Pufferfish courses

> **PAACADEMY offers extensive online courses covering the Pufferfish Grasshopper plugin, teaching computational designers how to seamlessly morph, tween and blend complex geometry across surfaces.**

Pufferfish is a Grasshopper plugin for morphing, blending, and tweening geometry between states. Its core capability is interpolating surfaces, curves, and meshes between two or more input geometries, generating in-between forms along a defined transition path. This capability extends what Grasshopper's standard components can do with interpolation, giving designers smooth surface morphing tools.

At PAACADEMY, Pufferfish is a highly utilized plugin taught across 20+ courses, including _Dynamic Wearables for Fashion Design 2.0_ by RJ Weaver. It is used to solve specific geometric transition problems:

- **Geometry Tweening:** Generating a series of progressive shapes that smoothly transition from an input shape to an output shape.
- **Surface Morphing:** Taking a 3D module (like a panel or wearable scale) and adapting it fluidly across a doubly-curved target surface.
- **Modular Blending:** Ensuring that parametric arrays change shape gradually across a model rather than repeating statically.
