Im hitting a copyrect bottleneck for special effect attempts in Blitz3D.

One example is a toon filter. I can grab the scene image and "toonify it" then palce it back as an overlay.. effect is great but very slow due to needing to copyrect the overlay each frame of gameplay.


Does fastimage offer any advantage when working with overlay effects? if not are there any out there at the moment that do ? I could not locate a forum for the fastimage lib.


Thanks in advance.

FastImage library supports many blend modes, you may create any FX (within DirectX7). Download and test it!

I've testing the "shadow_simple1.zip" example from the Blitz3d russian site. ;-). Very good job.
