A cool effect of a transition from one piece of text to another. Text becomes distorted and blurred before transitioning back to a new line of text. The effect makes use of a DisplacementMapFilter (with a perlinNoise source) and a BlurFilter, along with a Tween to control the transition. We present monochrome, colorized, and low CPU versions of the effect. Several parameters allow easy customization and experimentation. Full source code is available for download.
