Unique graphical effects :O

Posted by orange08 on Oct. 30, 2011, 3:38 p.m.

Now that the S4D Competition is over and my entry is all submitted and stuff I was messing around in GM trying to make some new graphical effects. It's actually quite fun to do this… I need to try different approaches though, 'cause right now the only thing I do is make all objects invisible, have a screen control object that goes over the screen in a specific way, and wherever it finds an object on the screen(touches it), it draws a circle/square/shape there with the color of the object it is touching.

I got some really neat looks, check it out:

Things look better in motion, everything's kinda shaky… but you get the idea, I hope.

Also, I'm at 602 hits right now, I hope I can take a printscreen when I reach the 666 mark :O

Edit: Why does BB Code work like crap on this site?

If you could replace the object movement with a script used for every single step, this could make an awesome graphics filter.

This + acid = double jeopardy.

BBCode looks horrible because the one who decided on the CSS did a horrible job on it. If I would remove the lines that make it look horrible, other things would break as well.

Also, I am lazy.

H… wait…

If you're using draw get color then shouldn't that be taking an assload of time to process…?

Do it ONCE and store the colour as a variable? (or just define the colour in the first place.)
