can somebody help out a newbie dumkopf?
i want to make a bitmap appear in the center of the screen. Then it has to rotate, getting bigger until it fills the screen, and then stops. I kow it's just a simple loop, but I can't get it right.
I thought that moving the camera closer might work, but it doesn't?
Any asst. would be greatly appreciated.

well first the bitmap needs to be the size of the screen, otherwise its going to look like crap when it fills the screen from the scaling effects

make a plain
load an image
texture the plain with the image
position the plain well away from the camera
rotate the plain and either move the camera closer or move the plain
stop the plain when it is at the correct angle (right way up) and close enough, see the source box for an (untextured) example, you can add your own image, if the picture is revolving too fast then you can alter the values by fifths to make it slower, cheers.

ps: you may need to alter the final location to get the image the right size, just make the 199.9 in the code smaller untill it fills the screen correctly.
