I was tinkering with special effects, and came up with this: It's coded in blitz3d, it's extremely simple, actually. Feed back is appreciated, if you guys want, I can post source. |

| i cant really tell whats going on... Can you post a more detailed pic? |

| better, here's a file with the exe and source. [a http://files.filefront.com/special+FXzip/;8905174;/fileinfo.html]clicky[/a] (well, filefront links dont work, but you can have the URL: http://files.filefront.com/special+FXzip/;8905174;/fileinfo.html) |

| it's actually a simple motion blur, with an applied rectanglular displacement, the distortion itself is 5 lines of code :) (the blur is exadurated and it's uber-laggy though) |
| ||
| The image itself doesn't really show much, since it isn't animated. For those who downloaded the EXE: It appears that WASD allows you to zoom in/out and pan around, which shows the effect a whole lot better than just the initial screen you see after launch. |

| An impressive, warm looking image. |

| sorry, the controls are WASD to navigate the camera, and mouse to turn (but that's kinda buggy because the FPS is so slow) here's something easier to see, it's just a sphere with a firey texture on it, with the distortion applied...If you can see, in the top left corner, it's running at 6 FPS :)  |
