I have some display objects that i want to skew…
basically something like this:
Anyone know how to make this effect? Is this even possible?
Roy.
Hi Roy,
Yes, this is easy to do, but 2.5D manipulation of paths is a feature restricted to Corona Pro and above users. Here is a guide on the topic:

Take care,

Good to know, I’m going Pro anyway because of IAP so that is not a problem
Ive noticed that on text display object it just cut the text and not skewing it, like so:
Ive used this code for this result:
[lua]
local targetButtomLeft = originalWitdh/2
local targetButtomRight = - originalWitdh/2
transition.to(textTest.path, {time = 500, x2=targetButtomLeft , x3=targetButtomRight})
[/lua]
Am i doing it wrong?
Roy.
Hi Roy,
Text objects are a bit unique in that they are auto-masked (behind the scenes in Corona’s engine). So, for skewing these, I think you may need to convert it to a snapshot first, in which case it will be regarded like a normal display object with path points that can be manipulated.
Take care,
Brent
