[MAGNIFICATION] Life through a lense

[Shockwave]

This is a pretty dirty way of getting a magnifying glass effect.
four magnifying glasses pass over the chequered background, the pattern is magnified inside the "lenses", the magnifying glasses also magnify each other too.

Very ugly colours, rushed and dirty code just to get the challenge started, no doubt there will be much better ideas than this!

Wow - that was a fast entry.

Nice lense fx. Runs smooth here. N1!

Hehe, it was made in an hour I think it will be beaten but thatnks Benny.

I hope to take the time and make something else. too

I liked that you didn't have all the lenses at the same height and they overlapped and distorted again.

A very old effect.  Nicely done, but let's hope we see something new!!

Nice and nifty example for people to brain storm with. And cheers for posting the source too dude.

I wonder what my life would look like through a lense! :p

Do you know anyone who wears glasses that you could ask?

[ferris]

My new glasses are coming in hopefully next week

look cool

I realised that the simple squares texture I had in this did it no favours so I modified the code slightly to load a picture (found it on the net).

Hope u like it!

[Hezad]

Ah yeah, looks really cool with the picture as the background ! (at least from the screnshot)

Those stacking lenses are really cool! I bet the maths behind this is quite powerful, and it even runs at full speed on my laptop.

Blimey nearly missed this one.

Cool effect over a nice landscape
