Fast 3D emulation with DisplacementMapFilter

3D plane

Coming soon.

In the meanwhile check it out here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blobs

Blobls

This is my version of the blobs. I obtain it applying a blur filter and a color transformation on the alpha cannel (offset = +50) to a movie clip containing simple colored circles like this:

a single blob (made with two simple gradient fills).

To enhance the lighting effect I have set the circles' Blend Mode to Add and I have added an Inner shadow on the whole result to make the lower side darker.

All the effects are applied at design time while the blobs' random movement is obtained via Action Script.

The example is supposed to run at 30 frames per second.

TIP: if you resize the window the blobs will always move on the whole visible area.

Evaporating Drip

Evaporating Drip

This example come from Senocular, I just slightly modify it.

Features involved are:
- BitmapData.loadBitmap()
- BitmapData.draw()
- ColorTransform
- DisplacementMapFilter
- BevelFilter

I have decided to use colorful worms over an image to show different effects of Blend Modes.

Dynamic Blur

Blur

I know you know it's actually really easy to change filter parameters at run time. But, is it a good reason to prevent me to do it?

TIP: the (editable) text is on focus when the mouse is at the center.

Plasma

Plasma S

Yes. As well as anybody else I have spent 10 minutes in applying a GradientBevel Effect to a movie clip.
