Free Friday - Flash 8 - Lake Effect by Guy Watson

Todays free friday comes to us from the early Flash 8 works of Guy Watson. Guy put together this example of a lake effect using perlinNoise and a displacement map filter. The effect is very nice, great work guy!

This example loads an image from the library, then flips it and stacks it below the image to produce a mirroring effect. Then it uses perlinNoise to generate wave like gradients which are used to shift the mirrored image using a displacement map filter to produce the effect of calm waves.

This example is available for free with with full source and documentation within Flash® by Example.

More to come.
