Care to share how you made it?

In case you can't find it (http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=30) :)

Thanks BigAl - I've looked everywhere for it!

I was also a bit stumped Lisa, but then realised that it should be available on the members page. Doug has been working too hard :tired: and probably didn't realise that it's quite difficult to find someone's avatar (especially if that person isn't all that active :) )

Quite difficult? Sounds like it was easy enough for you :)
Difficult is getting someone to notice a thread they're not aware of. We need an ambassador in charge of "emailing ppl that don't know there's a thread waiting for them" :)
There's probably a hundred Challenge threads that fit that description.

Sorry about that Just found you all. I have enormous trouble surfing this site which is one of the reasons Im not more active. A lot of the links don't work (I'M on IE5 for mac). Ive posted this problem on another thread for you to check out -

Thanks for the compliment on my avatar.

Wait for it ...hold your breath

Its done with ImageReady, a Displacement channel, and a moving Lighting Effects layer.

I guess that probably doesn't all make much sense but you can check this thread to see my exhaustive description of how I did the distortion as the stripes move over the shape.

I then just animated the lighting effects layer over the top with a reduced opacity I think.
