Image Warping Effect....

by bkenwright@xbdev.net


Can you believe it!  It took me ages to get this really simple piece of code to work!  But I've made it really simple... you should be able to understand the principle of what it does and how it works. 

 

If you compile and run the code you'll get an animated swirly blurry effect... of course by changing only a few lines you can create any number of effects.... the most common effect I can think of is one of the windows screensavers which has a magnifying glass move around the screen... sort of creating a zoom.. well you could do that using this principle.

The code is relatively simple, its just two files, one for the windows init etc, and the directX code which is in the only other file.

main.cpp dxdraw.cpp

Download Source Code

So how does it work?  Well it works like this, we load a texture in...okay... still with me ;)  Then we create a grid of triangles you can change how many, then higher the number the more detailed the effect is... then we call a random function each time after a small delay and shift them slightly creating a sort of blurring/warping effect.  Again depending on how you change the tu/tv values for each vertice in your array... depends on the effect you generate... for example you could use a bit of trig and have them change randomly but in a circular direction... creating a swirly effect of the image.

Lets have a looksy at the code shall we:

It looks like a lot, but the first half of it...the init() and de-init() functions are for the init and de-init of the directx code... this usually stays the same.

And the main.cpp file is nothing special just re-dundant code which you learn to type over and over again as you get older.

Well there you have it... I used an index buffer and a vertex buffer as its more efficient... it shouldn't be that hard to follow.  I do hope you understand what is in effect happening as its a really cool effect that is easy to generate.
