Splash screen dissolve?

by Ray Depew · in Torque Game Engine · 01/11/2005 (5:39 pm) · 2 replies

One of the gang at HTI got a beautiful mountain picture to use as a splash screen for our project. Then he did some PSPro/Adobe/GIMP art magic to it to make it look like embossed material. He uses the photo as splash screen 1, at the start of the game, and then switches to the embossed version as splash screen 2, behind the "Loading all the junk you're gonna need" bargraph animation.

It would be most cool if we could do a slow dissolve from the photo to the embossed effect. Does the Torque GUI do dissolves? How about animated GIFs?

(I'll post screenshots later, if anybody cares.)

Have you tried flexable GuiFadeCtrl
or
Startup Splash Screen
or
guiAnimBitmapCtrl

One of those (I believe the 1st) is eactly what you need.

Hope that helps
