You fail at drawing diamonds

But good example otherwise Remember when you make the vector you can use the control key and the mouse wheel to zoom in to the layout editor, and get better control of clicking!

Plasma it is!

I like Visualizer but its too long...I like plugin names to be short because its easier for people to type and remember.

Hehe yeah it should make some interesting effects...even just having it in the background and when u move the mouse over text you use the action

'on mouse over menutext'

- Paste menutext into flame

And then the menu item itself catches on fire when u move the mouse over it!

The Dark Knight was awesome How great was twoface....sad they killed him off at the end...or did they? We didn't see them take the body away so he'll probably regain conciousness and run off into the night!

And Heath Ledger made an excellent Joker! Its just so sad he didn't get to see the final product.

lol I have no idea. You can mix it up a bit....make some sprites and give them the 'erase' effect...and then get them to render into the visualizer...the erase effect gets carried over and therefore u can cut out shapes instead of just adding them in...if thats what u meant by masks.

Anyway we'll see what happens

Oh and in answer to your question, yeah it can work as a small fireplace...or glowing eyes...or firey text....I just made it full screen because thats something the old flame object could never do.

Na I'm not Kisguri, insert the flame object into mmf and check who's name appears

It was released by Kisguri / Gamesare to promote the new website redesign or something... I made the plugin and he made the install, examples, tutorials etc. I guess if it wasn't for him, the flame object probably would never have got released coz I'm lazy

Mind you I think everyone thinks he (Kisguri) made it...but that doesn't matter...we wouldn't want people thinking an extension was made by someone funded by the mafia

Well the plugin is pretty much ready so I'll include it in the next release.

Unlike my flame object, this allows for multiple colours (as opposed to having a greyscale image that maps against a drawn gradient). So this example demonstrates what happens if you draw some coloured circles and paste them into the flame.

btw do u think 'visualizer' is a good name for this plugin?

oh and sorry about spamming everyone with these examples

I got it supporting pasting of sprites (another hopefully other objects) into itself. Please check that it still works on your computer

Lizards arn't the only dumb species...I met a really dumb human today!

I was driving along and had to stop at the traffic lights, and I noticed a guy was starting to cross the road (he was on his mobile phone). He looked left and looked right and then started to cross the road in a straight line. At this point I had stopped my car coz I had reached the light...and I noticed he started heading towards my car.... I expected him to turn to either go in front of my car or behind my car (since I was stationary) and guess what he did...he walked into my car! bumped into it! nearly fell over too. And then he was like 'sorry mate' and walked around it. It was like something the AI in crysis would do!

I made another effect...this is what happens if you scale and rotate the cold map

Now I just gotta plan out how this plugin should work.

It will be similar to my flame object for mmf, except the cool map can be scaled and rotated as well (the spiral was done with a rotating cool map).

Also, when you render an object into it, it will use the pixel shaders on that object, so if you give the object a 'magnify' effect you might be able to make some abstract liquid flame effects...and coz it all works with render targets it gets full hardware acceleration
