Kool Water Fx

Hi great fellow programmers,

I wanted to create two types of water effects. Can these be done in Blitz2, and if so, how?

1. Ripple effect (more of an oval/eclipticle series of concentric (excuse spelling) circles.

2. Water motion/movement. Basically, I can turn a picture upside down to create a reflection, but how would I distort it on the screen as a nice watery motion?

I have seen the letter on many websites as Enter this Site type icons, and it really looks good.

Thank you all very much for your kind help, which is most appreciated.

I think you can find interesting code examples for what you are looking for, if you take a look in the code archive: http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php

1. Pretty sure there's one in the code archives.

2. Take your image, chop it up into pixel slices, move the slices around in circles out of phase.

In the toolbox section there is a texturetool named "texture wobbler". it takes a single water texture and creates an animated seamless texture that looks pretty good. And it's freeware.
