Re: [Flashcoders] animate mask like liquid

Like others, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. However, you could probably
use Perlin Noise and Displacement Map pretty easily. I have a a demo in my
book of a pseudo-look at my reef aquarium. (Pseudo because there are no
visible ripples, so to speak, while you're under water.)

I think the demo is in Chapter 9, Drawing with Pixels if you want to check
it out at the URL below.

You could also search for water, under water, etc. I just got this hit for
"lava lamp" but haven't looked at the example or code yet:

You can also soften the edges of a graphic object by applying a glow
filter of the same color.

Re: [Flashcoders] animate mask like liquid

[allandt bik-elliott]

thanks for the advice

we decided to stick with what they had due to time contraints in the end

that's really nice - i'm filing that under 'will use at first opportunity'

:)

Re: [Flashcoders] animate mask like liquid

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

   Do you mean like ripples on a pond when you drop something in?
Here is an "abstract example" of what I mean 
http://www.levitated.net/bones/hiddenPower/examples/ripples.html


   Or do you mean like the ripples on a swimming pool?

   Have a look at http://www.flashfilterlab.com/ which may help you 
with some ideas - you can create effects and download them "compiled", 
but if you can work out what to use, you can roll your own.


   I made a rippling text transition on this website:  (Click the 
"power button" to get rid of the animation, then if you click the menu 
links you will see what I mean).


   http://sas.org.uk/education/sos/

   This uses a perlin noise to generate a bitmap used in a displacement 
filter.  The size of the perlin noise parameter is tweened over time so 
the ripples get bigger and smaller...

hi folks

maybe you guys can help me. I've been asked to explore how to animate a mask
to look like it's liquid.

currently the mask is amended every frame by placing a circle which looks a
little spotty. It would be nice to get a more 'airbrushed' feel to what is
being done (it's been suggested that this could be achieved using a bitmap
filter in flash)

hope you can help

I don't know if it has something to do with what you want to reach but check
