Hi all.

Did so, and here is the URL with screenshots:

If that is the correct URL, then I'm not so sure it would run well on an
020.. okay, maybe the lowest down shot on the page is an effect that
could be done (at 320x256 though) but the others are a bit more
invloved. Essentially what it looks like is a 2D transformation and blur
(probably done in one step). It should be possible on the Amiga even
with AGA, as really there is no need for a 3D card.

Tell you what, I'll have a little play around and see what I can do.
Just a demo..
