Free Warping Points ?

mfreakz's picture

I would like to build a warping/distortion tool for pictures. The idea is to set a point in an image (for exemple: the face of a character) an to warp different X,Y,Z for this point. For the begining i use a set of "Kineme GL Grid Generator" linked to a "Kineme GL Grid Renderer". I plan to manage with a structure maker to create an animation of warping points... The matter is that Grid generator use a defined numbers of lines and columns. I would like to use preset distortion for different image (character faces) using mouse to point manually each point to warp. I need to build a generic tool to warp each kind of images/character faces, so i need to place the warping point with a mouse patch for exemple.

On an other hand, i see another exemple of warping technics using a "GLSL Shader" and a DisplacementMap Movie input, there is an exemple of GLSL_Movie_Displace here: http://kineme.net/WWDC2008#comment-2152 Could you help me to build such a patch ? Is there another technic to do that. I would like to use a mouse to set one or many points and to warp them. Warping settings will be the same, but point position should be free and configurable. Any idea ?
