possible to duplicate picture instance? (IE get 2 pictures from camera)

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi,
Sorry for the vague subjectline, let me explain what I’m trying to do:

I would like to have the user take a photo of him/herself then be able to animate different parts of his/her face separately (eyes, mouth, etc)

To achieve this, I’m guessing one would need to duplicate the “local image = event.target” a couple times and apply different masks.

Is it possible to create multiple pictures from 1 camera shot or can we “clone” a defined picture?

Thanks in advance

I havn’t really used the camera, but I think you’d have to save the picture to the /tmp folder then load it again as a new image. There’s no way to duplicate an image instance inside corona. [import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 22140 reply_id: 88099[/import]
