Image transition effects

Java 2D
#1

Hi!

I’d like to know if there is a ready made library with source code for image transitions, like fades, dissolves, scrollings, and so on. If there is none, where can I find information about this, please ?

regards

I am looking for this too! Preferrable with source code included!

Here’s a couple of ideas:

  1. For “standard” fadeout screen transitions, simply blend the current image with the previous with increasing alpha values - ie, copy the current image over the previous while making it more and more opaque.

  2. For easy “gradient wipes”, you can use GradientPaint to paint a rectangular area that is the same size as your current image/overlay with a gradient of decreasing alpha values (from left to right), copy those alpha values of that area into the current image/overlay, then draw that image over the previous image.

Adjust the painting after each frame (so the current image gets more and more opaque from left to right) to get a smooth transition from one image to another.

ok, but is there something ready made? I dont wanna loose time in developing such effects, I just wanna use them. I have searched but I have found just paid solutions…
