Printable View
I want the user to be able to enter text and have it warp/skew...is this possible? if so, how? do you have to convert text to shapes programmatically? suggestions???
I see text effects similar to what I want in Swish Max2, but I don't know if Swish can be sent dynamic data (ie. my text input) and manipulate it dynamically?
thx in adv.!
You will probably have to draw your text into a BitmapData, then use various filters on it. Notably, DisplacementMapFilter.
You might want to look at http://je2050.de/imageprocessing/ for your image warping code, I've found it useful to generate "twirl" displacement maps filter effects.
cool, thanks...could you show me examples of you using this, or someone else? it would help give me ideas! thx again!
No time for examples now, but I may be able to code something up tonight or tomorrow. But I encourage you to just play with the classes I mentioned and see what you can come up with.
