In Photoshop there is a tool that allows the selection to be “Distorted”. This allows easy shadow creation among other things. How could this sort of distortion be applied for a polygon (a bunch of points)?

Thanks

    If your aim is to accomplish something like this (black original, red after distortion)

    then you can:

    • fix a base for applying distortion (generally normal to the direction in which you want to distort, for example – here the direction of distortion is towards the right and the base is the bottom edge of the rectangle)
    • displace each point on the figure by a distance proportional to its distance from the base, for example – point A (assuming it to be at 70% height) would be displaced by a distance of 0.7 * (displacement of top left corner point)

    Using such a sequence of such distortion cycles, you can get the transformation that you want.
