Small idea/question

(1/1)

infern0man1:
Would it be possible to create something similar to the effects used in this video? If so, what would be a good way to start?


I don't have plans on using something like this in the future, but I think it would be cool to see it in action in some fangame at some point.

klazen108:
GM Studio brings a powerful new set of functionality with it, called Shaders. Think of shaders as mini programs that run on your GPU, and directly process graphics while they're being drawn.

The effect you linked in that video is known as a kaleidoscope effect, and googling kaleidoscope shaders brings up some neat results!

Using GMStudio, you could add this shader, then turn it on while drawing your background image. Creating that effect would basically be a two step process. It's that simple!
