MorphSVG: Square to diamond shape

[ANTI Dev 1 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi I'm trying to do a seemingly simple morph but the outcome is not quite like desired. I'm morphing a square shape into a "diamond shape" made with same amount of anchor points and made with corner radius in illustrator for the rounding. 

The desired animation would look something like this:

But as seen in the Codepen the morph between the paths looks different. Any ideas how to make a svg morph similar to the reference?

Hi Henrik - 

It's a little wonky, as I did it quickly. But you'll probably get the best result by creating a square with extra points halfway down the sides, then copying it and pulling those center points in to create the diamond

Hi Cassie

Thank you! Worked great with the new points, exactly the effect I was looking for. 😊
