Hi all!

I wanna know how you would make a stretch scale effect. Say if you scale Y to 80 then X would be 120 and so on. Should be fairly straight forward. I just don't know how.

For a convincing squash effect, you want to keep the total area of the shape fairly constant, which calls for an inverse relationship between x and y. For example:

y = 80;
x = 10000/y;
[x,y]


So in this case x would be 125. Somehting like that.
