how do i make a F.E.A.R-effect in explosions?

[AndyB]

ive seen a game on youtube where a guy creates a very cool FEAR-effect on his explosions by using the lens-object and prolly attaching a loop on it so it resizes and changes zoom.

but i dont know how to use loops at all, and what they are for. could anyone help me by making an example file or something? would be greatly apprichiated!

Next to your post on the right side -------> is a link to some tutorials. There is a video explination of fastloops and a tutorial on them too.

okay thx.

found a solution in a lens-object example file how to make it change zoom!


but ive noticed a problem with the lens. it doesnt seem to register the colour "black" when zooming in! anyone know why?? it just leaves all black colors (in the graphics) blank! like transparent or something.

Hmm I'm not sure why it would do that - but most of the time pure black is the transparent color which means that it will not process those pixels (it's a performance thing).
