Plastic wrap effect

Question

Where may I get algorithms to apply a plastic wrapping effect to an image?

I am using Visual C++.

Answer 1

This previous question touches base on similar image distortion effects and the groundwork for the effects, as far as your particular request, I do not know of any direct source

Answer 2

If you're looking to do something like a CD case or some other simple shrink wrap effect, it's usually done with a semi-transparent image overlay on top of the original image.
