Thanks and I'll check out your plugin.

 

DistortThis! is actually a texture map routine where you control the location of the polygon's corners. The controls where designed for a perspective overlay so you can match the corners  on a background image. I like really free-form controls and to have realtime renderings as much as possible.

 

Perspective being Perspective, I assume we all get to the same place but we take different routes.

 

My source code is published here

Here's some quick links to the instruction videos.

Oh and why I zipped in a zip; I thought people may not want to install all  my plugins. This allows them to pick and choose and hopefully not overwrite something with the same DLL name. By the way - thats why I don't use Icons and started prefacing them with "TRs". Don't wanna mess up someones Library or confuse them.

 

 

 

(Hmmm, General Nuttyness is a good name for a candy bar.....)

We can pick and choose from a list of dll files too ;)

Common Sense is not so Common - Voltaire :imhappehtoo:

 

Right or Wrong that was my reasoning - someone would "extract all" then blame me for erasing their plugins. If everyone wants "DLL in Zip", I'll change it when I get home.

 

 

@TechnoRobbo - General Nuttyness would be a good name for a plug-in too

 

Gives everyone in the Pic a Top Hat, Cane and Monocle?

dpy,

 

I get it now, your saying the alogrithm's inverted. That's simple enough to fix. I'll make an adjustment tonite, Thanks!!!!!

 

            //Calc UV
            double uu = x1/(x2+x1) * selection.Width + selection.Left;
            double vv = y1/(y2+y1) * selection.Height + selection.Top;
 

I should be dividing the other "x" and "y"

 

 

 

Nice catch, Thanks Again!!!!

 

Post Edit: Better yet , I'll make inverting perspective an option on the UI.

dpy,

 

quick up date :

 

I'm writing a dual system because warping and perspective are 2 different effects, DistortThis! was by design a warping system. It's like printing an image on a sheet of rubber and pulling and stretching it, very instinctive.

 

Perspective is actually counter-intuitive, it's the mathematical inverse. you stretch it and the image runs away from you. 

 

For this reason I'm writing 2 separate systems in one with radio buttons so the artist can decide on the effect he needs. 

 

Ok, maybe the update wasn't so quick.
