I have to make something like the design shown below in Blender.

I have done this in CorelDraw using the blend tool. I want to do the same for 3D objects. How can I do that in Blender?

2 different objects:

Blend between two objects:

    you can use Shape Keys: Create your square plane, give it 2 Shape Keys, for the second one round it with right click > LoopTools > Circle, then play with the Shape Key value – moonboots Jul 02 '21 at 05:30

Create as many duplications as necessary if you need to show a whole series of shapes.

It does make a lot of sense using shapekeys as moonsboots answered.

Just know that there exist other way which uses displacement. you can do more stuff procedurally by manipulating vectors (like a tilted transition in the illustrated image).
