Hey Corona Community,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to do an effect like this:

Skip to 0:35 in the video. It's the "shockwave" effect where it looks like the whole screen ripples.

Any guidance?

Thanks!

You cannot do that with CoronaSDK. I needs some complex math to create the ripple and distort the image on screen.

If Ansca offers a bit more control on the OpenGL Quads, then that ripple effect is just one of the many cools things that developers can have, Curtains, cloth, what not...

cheers,

?:)

yeah, openGL shaders are on the roadmap. maybe effects like this will be available in the future...

You are wrong, look here:

no shaders and other advanced OpenGL ES just fast vectors and math. Put some textures on it and you will have full 3D effect without shaders :)

I see. looks nice... but it's a completely different task.

003naveen wants to warp the whole game screen while the action continues. i really think you need pixel shaders for that.
