With the right combination of stretch and skew we may well be able to do arbitrary triangle transformations. This could be *REVOLUTIONARY* for mesh rendering if it also works with the whirl effect.

[@griffpatch]

Yes, I've seen that very thing done in scratch... It's very clever isn't it

[@official-obama]

@@CaptainMolloPro the top of the sprite seems wider than the bottom

[@ChuckSploder]

Look up STTF in the scratch search bar

[@codingpileofdirt]

IT WORKS WITH THE WHIRL EFFECT. I have seen some examples, though the whirling mainly seems to be best for animation purposes.

Just follow the steps he does

[@xc_gwpl]

Wow... that's ingenious. I've always hoped for a stretch block for Scratch, and was disappointed to learn they were apparently part of the platform once, only to be removed and get stuck in backlog for years. It's great to see that there's a workaround!

Here's history of using fisheye for stretching on Scratch: May 22, 2021 l3ccm invented it May 31, 2021 PutneyCat made project using l3ccm version Dec 15, 2021 squidchip found it parallel to him Dec 15, 2021 MentalBox adapted squidchip version into working triangle version Dec 16, 2021 squidchip made first 3D project using stamped textured triangles Jan 23, 2022 MentalBox made first loaded 3D object using stamped textured triangles Apr 10, 2022 ggenije (me) got inspired by MentalBox's version and made regular stretch version. Aug 08, 2022 Chrome_Cat fixed ggenije's stretch project to have higher precision. Aug 20, 2022 Chrome_Cat made STTF - Stamp Texture Triangle Fill, which is first single stamp triangle texture using whirl effect along with fisheye Aug 22, 2022 MentalBox made their own version of STTF Mar 06, 2023 b9e made platformer used stretched circles Sep 06, 2023 Chrome_Cat made v2 of STTF which is much better in each way possible. Sep 06, 2023 KryptoScratcher optimized v2 STTF Dec 02, 2023 griffpatch made video on fisheye stretching

[@roundabout-host]

oh wow, nice to see you

[@Mentalbox52]

Great timeline actually! In terms of releases this is fairly accurate and thank you for clarifying. Behind the scenes me (Mentalbox) and Chrome_Cat were sort of working together on STTF, I had been trying to get whirl for a while and he pulled through with the math. I think I still have his paper somewhere. Everyone knew is was possible but struggled to get it off the ground.

[@radish.6660]

I like how it was invented by some guy in 2021 apparently me and my friends have known about fisheye stretching since like 2017

[@ggenije]

@@radish.6660 Yeah, it's pretty logical that other people knew about it before l3ccm, but those we're probably isolated cases, but with this timeline you can see chain reaction happening. If you know some older projects which uses this method, I would like to see them.

[@amazingone915]

he didnot give you a heart because your his biggest enemy

[@Dezloxe]

That edge of fisheye thing was a billion iq honestly, and i´ve seen project where the sprite is drawn by pen for this effect. Now it seems so easy, as it always was apparently!

[@The-EJ-Factor]

I knew what the fish eye effect does, but I never thought of using it like this, when I taught kids scratch at the coding school, I taught some of them how to make it zoom in where you want by controlling the center of the sprite costume.

[@mcnole25]

The pen extension and image scanning can also work for stretching. And skewing is possible with the whirl effect too!

[@Yellowbruisee]

as a scratch user who really likes project arrhythmia and likes how the cubes stretch, i have been BEGGING scratch to add a stretching block, so seeing this ABSOLUTELY made my day, thanks.

[@PixticGamesOfficial]

Interesting video! I can’t believe we could stretch sprites in game! Awesome work! Keep it up 😊

Hi griffpatch 😊

[@evepreviouslyknownaslenenjoyer]

i haven't used scratch in years, but i love griffpatch's videos, they're so lovely and kind of nostalgic

[@mightythearmiddilo]

There’s a mod of Turbowarp that I really recommend trying. It’s called Penguin Mod, it adds lots of blocks, many new extensions, built-in Scratch Addons, and Turbowarp’s game modifier.

[@Jackhenrey]

Wow griffpatch you're bringing back my childhood when i discovered effects blocks for the first time 😢where did that time goes

[@link_55]

I remember seeing a project with this in, but I couldn't find it afterwards to work out how it worked. Now I can finally make it! :D thanks griffpatch

[@griffpatch]

No problem!

[@THETACOTEERS]

@@griffpatchand all this time I used different costumes for squish effect..

[@old_timiksomg]

i always wanted resize sprites in separate axes, like in unity! i will try it

[@Igorex95]

to do that you'd need a more complex system, as this only allows for exponential stretching in a single axis

[@2MinutesScienceChannel]

Griffpatch never fails to create tutorials that are truly amazing. In fact, one of my friends are beginners at Scratch and he can create really amazing projects by following your tutorials!

[@griffpatch]

That's awesome 👍

[@blackhole927]

I haven’t used scratch in a few years, I’ve moved away to do script coding. But the excitement in your voice at the start has gotten me excited about scratch again, so thank you!

[@cosmocode75]

I used that block to make black hole animations all the time... You see the best in something that doesn't seem like it was made for it

[@The-EJ-Factor]

7:07 I used that trick a long time ago when I made my first scrolling game with my own code. Its very useful, you can also use it to make the opposite happen by making a very big sprite to make the spites able to change really small. I often call the big sprite small, and the small sprite big, which may seem odd but it makes more sense for when you want something small you change to small and when you set something big you change to big.

[@alfiegordon9013]

OOOOOH thats a genius way to do that, i never would've thought of that in a million years

[@griffpatch]

I know right!?!

[@ThatDevExotic]

VERY very clever thinking behind this, griffpatch.

duuude i've been wanting do do this for years... now i can finally achieve it with this tutorial, yay !

This is so simple, yet I've never thought of it. Thanks, Griffpatch! Amazing tutorial as always

[@christinewambua2205]

yap i agree

[@realjordantrs]

It’s interesting because as soon as you said it used the fisheye effect I immediately figured out how you did it. Well, relatively, I don’t know the actual steps though 😅

[@griffpatch]

It just takes a nudge sometimes :) nice one

[@couththememer]

I remember when I was playing the school computer I accidentally stumbled upon one of this guy’s game and was surprisingly entertained, so I started playing more of his created games. Kinda crazy how all this time I didn’t know that he was a Scratch tutorial-er.

The end result makes for a nice loading screen.

I'm honestly surprised that no one discovered this sooner! Such an ancient limitation of Scratch, with a solution that's been staring us in the face this whole time. Well done as always!

[@meowy_luffy]

yoooooooooo chimpmonk!

[@channelname7105]

Actually it was discovered i think at least several months earlier although I can't pinpoint an exact person and it didn't have widespread use. Several made triangle mesh renderers with it

Hi @chipmonk!

[@Mentalbox52]

@@channelname7105 Squidchip came up with the idea and I implemented it. Ggenije made a project with this effect and I was credited. It's use for textured triangles has since been refined to include the whirl effect for a single stamp tris thanks to chrome cat.

This is like, revolutionary for 3D projects

I'm sure there's more cool things like this just waiting to be discovered... And when they are, griffpatch will make a video on it! Random question, did you discover this stretch feature by yourself?

No I didn't discover this :) it's been around for a little while, but I don't think a lot of people know about it so I wanted to make a video

This is amazing! I bet if you use this strategy a bit you can also warp a sprite to go into a specific quadrilateral bounding box, which can help us make 3D games without pen and still with high quality.

a tip that has helped me. rather than dragging with the mouse. click a point. and use the arrow keys to nudge the points. This also works if you hold shift on multiple points. hope this helps anyone who gets frustrated.

[@Speed-TV]

Is it possible to make it scale vertically on both the top and bottom so instead of it looking like it squishes on the ground it squishes in the middle? I'm guessing that would involve changing the y position up.
