Does anyone know how i can rotate the screen as if my moniter had a nail through it from front to back?

Also, is there anyway to blur the entire screen?

Edit: Does anyone know a program which converts .b3d or .ms3d into .x?

Pound a nail into your monitor and rotate?

Seriously, you would make a sprite or a plain (depending on which works for your purposes). Then texture the screen with a bitmap that is a "copy" of your screen. A lot of exactly how you do this depends on what you want to achieve.

The same concept can be applied for blurring the entire screen. There is a Blur function, but it's really slow. An alternative is simply using the Get Image function;
Quote: "GET IMAGE Image Number, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, Texture Flag"

and set the Texture Flag to 0. Then paste them image and copy it again. Each time will blur the image more. You can also paste the image to a smaller bitmap to blur it even more.

ms3d is a milkshape file, so use milkshape to open it and then export as .x file.

Boo!

if it's a motion-blur type effect you want, you can get a quick blur with BACKDROP OFF and rotating your camera some small angle. Won't help for a "I've just been knocked in the head with a whiskey bottle and can't see straight" or "I just drank a whole bottle of whiskey and can't see straight" kind of blurs though.

@R2D2 That says "Cannot get image due to an illegal area"

@Spooky I don't have milkshape

@Cluless Backdrop off doesnt work for me :S. I also want a "I just drank a whole bottle of whiskey and can't see straight" effect
