Can you do so called "point repeat" on fb3? You have a sin wave full of dots. When point repeat is =0 then it's just like a wave but when you increase the number ,points become more and more visible but you still can see the sin wave. Then to make go to side you just change size and move to the right with fade. Actually there is no need to make a wave full of dots, you can insert them later by one command.

I know it may sounds strange but thats how it's done on my system I hope it can give you ideas.

PS. To make a SIN WAVE you need to make 3d coil then just rotate it.

There are sine wave ripple effects in LaserBoy too. There is a frame effect called "tranz" that takes a 2D drawing and warps the crap out of it (mathematically speaking) with sine waves in multiple ways. It promotes a 2D image to 3D, so all of the effect is in Z; meaning, you can not see it if you are looking at it straight on from the front.

Check it out!

Look at frame 27 of in.ild. It looks like a flat spiral from the front. Spin it around. Press and hold

4 // rotate XYZ view
5 // set to front

Flatten this image.

h // frame transforms
1 // Flatten Z

Now it is a 2D spiral. Apply the tranz effect.

o // to create output
4 // frame effect

type tranz at the prompt.

Stare into the spiral! All you can see now is the color cycling. When it stops moving... wake up and open the file called tranz.ild.

i // file input
1 // ILDA
tranz // at the prompt
1 // replace the frame set

Rotate it a bit off axis so that you can see it is a flat disk in 3D and start the show.

` // show forward

You can also just hit

= // auto show & spin

and watch it flip around.

The more points there are to work on, the smoother it looks, so if you optimize the drawing before you apply the tranz effect it looks even better!

you lost me after the fist line, i dont have laseboy lol

Andy;

Laserboy is free software. You could download it and give it a try.

A part of tranz basically creates the wave effect for you.. nice.

the wave effect is very easy with Phoenix,
and I think I can export to ILDA
