Is it possible for MMF2, using any combination of extensions, to take a jpg and cut out circular regions (faces, to be precise) and save those sections as transparent gif or png files? I'm not looking for yes or no, btw. If you know, please tell me. I'm new here!

ALSO while I'm here, I've seen an effect used to mimic a sniper scope, where a circular region is magnified and the remaining areas within the square bounding box are transparent (check chloecakes' zombie game trailer for example). Which extension would I use to do this, and would that help me solve my first problem?

You can use the lens object to do the sniper scope,
as for cutting circular areas out of an image, you may be able to achieve that with cleaver programming and the overlay redux object.

Hi UrbanMonk, thanks for your suggestions. As for the circular image problem, I got something working with the Screen Capture object. It doesn't anti-alias the edges but it's probably as good as I can hope for with MMF.

Sorry, it's not for a game, it's for some educational software that won't be uploaded here. I might upload the open source example to show how I got it working, but it honestly isn't a complicated solution.
