-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Ok I found out that the Pinch effect is only on an attachment, one that I can set. But, it only blurs when I face forward instead of up or down. It is like it does not Start the effect from the current position of the attachment. Anyway to convert it from starting on an attachment to starting from my vecSrc position
Screenshot: http://siosphere.com/dm_overwatch0030.jpg Where the blue dot is is where it does not work if I look up or down.
