Morph module
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Morph module
| ||
| After a recent request on the forums I decide to write a morphing module. This module allows you to morph pixmaps and images in real time.  Archive contents.. 1) Module - compiled into windows only at the mo. Will compile to linux when I get my mepis working. 2) example project showing you how to use the commands. 3) A morph gui. This will help you create morphs for your images. 4) docs. [NEW LINK] http://rapidshare.com/files/42724177/morph.rar.html [NEW LINK] Currently there isn't much error checking. NB. If you have an image with 4*4 morph points, then it must be morphed to another image with 4*4 morph points. If you have any question.. post them up here. cheers Rich |

| optimised drawing now with error checking. lastest link at top of thread |
| ||
| I don't see any difference between the first and the last image. |
| ||
| lol |
| ||
| From the grabs, this appears to be "cross fading" via alpha channels rather than morphing. |
| ||
| It's just that he hasn't chosen enough control points or mapped them onto the two faces closely enough. Mostly morphing is just a cross-fade, combined with spacial movements and deformations of areas of the image. It looks about right but a better example would improve the appearance. Also it looks a big `jaggy`. Does it use floating point operations or integer? |
| ||
| yikes.. please excuse my ignorance then. If he's doing what AD said, then this could prove to be an awesome module! |
| ||
| the pixels move and cross fade at the same time. The rar contains an example of a morph grid of 8*8. The above picture is 4*4. The movement is a lot better in that example. example morph files are 03a.txt and 03b.txt for the source and destination pictures respectively. all the operations are floating point. I'll see what I can do this weekend to make it smooother. The rar has quickly been stuick together and I'll try to get a better release soon. |
| ||
| Okay, I put the pantson.mod folder in the mod directory, but am getting an error when trying to compile the example program. I get a bunch of undefined reference to brl_pixmap_ functions. I'm sure I'm just forgetting something. It's been a long time since i've used Blitz and am trying to get back into the swing of things. |
| ||
| Cripes, neat :D |
| ||
| my fault... I've got an optimised pixmap writepixel and readpixel in my brl.pixmap module. I will have to update the code accordingly later at home. Thats what happens when I rush modules out. :-( |
| ||
| OK new mod been uploaded. see the link at top of the thread. updates.. 1) Removed optimised writepixel calls and replaced them with code in the module. 2) Tested on a new install of blitzmax 3) morph.bmx added to module have fun |
