a 2nd Offset like Genetica's

Just a few hours ago, I got the Genetica 3 Beta program. I noticed it has a "distort" component that is similar to FF's "offset" component -- but it works differently...

The Genetica component similarly has a map-input for the source, but then, has a map-input for the the direction of the offsets, and then a map-input for the distance of the offsets (-- as opposed to map-inputs for the Horizontal and Vertical "distances").


I think if FF had this kind of an offset/distortion also, it could help expand it's creative results... (I do like to experiment with Offset effects... )

Thanks for the explanation, Crapadilla. (I guess if anything, maybe I should be feature wishlisting to Genetica that they have separate H and V directional map-inputs...?) (Heh, but still, I find it a little hard to think in terms of translating a single angle-directional map into to two H and V directional maps...)


Using that Genetica program feels like looking through a mirror and writing with my less dominant hand (-- i.e. I'm going through a learning curve thing). (But I'm already really liking its animation features...)
