/* Let me know if that's what you had in mind. */ It is. Apparently there are a lot of "methods" to simulate refraction. I uploaded a file LENS1.ZIP (.FLI) tonight showing the effect achievable through the down-and-dirty projector light methods… this is definitely the laziest "fixed mapspace" I've found yet. The movie-within-movie works well too if all motion is predefined… camera, magnifying glass… VP seems limitless in its uses, your technique makes sense and I'll attempt the same excercise again using it… no doubt it will look better. Thanks for the interest on this John. It would be great to have this capability built in, but I continue to be amazed at the ingenuity I see in this forum. -dave p.s. when LENS1 becomes available (340K I think), I'd appreciate any feedback you'd have on it.
