I started messing around with some more BitmapData stuff last night and came up with this transition which is a combination of perlinNoise, DisplacementMapFilter, blendMode and some simple alpha fading. Other than that, I don’t have much more to say, so go ahead and click on the “Picture 1″, “Picture 2″, and “Picture 3″ buttons to see the transition in action.
Ok ok, so there’s already been people making fire with Flash 8’s perlinNoise, but I wanted to take a stab at it. A little mixture of BitmapData, DisplacementMapFilter, perlinNoise, and blendMode and voila! Houston, we have a fire.
How bout a little perlinNoise, Drawing API, and GlowFilter for ya? eh? I started playing with the BitmapData.perlinNoise method and came up with some moving clouds. From there, I added some rain and the lighting which my “northern lights” experiment was based on. After that, I figured I’d make the wind appear to gust by modifying the angle of the rain. Hope you enjoy it!
