Bmp Magnify sphere effect

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Bmp Magnify sphere effect

Hi im looking for some blitz3d code for
a bmp magnify sphere affect which
moves around the screen and bounces
of the sides.

like some of the screensaver effects you get.

its call refraction... try cubemap mode 3... is that what u want?

would you have some code ??

I don't know how inefficent this would be but could you do this:

Create a flat mesh in a grid arrangement, texture it with the screen shot, then move the vertices in such a way that where the magnify effect is they are expanded out radially.

u can get the sample code from within the Blitz3D example folder for cubemap..

Or, as matty describes, except, move the UV co-ords :o)

anycode for this guys , or exact location

I think there is an example in the code archives for something like this - I remember seeing it.

Might be this one - I can't run it from here, but take a look just in case:
