LAB#3015 Skybase

Hey for this

I just thought of a way to get jumbled texture coordinates so you don't have that common texture Mort was talking about.

Generate the same shapes but have it grab color samples from a super small noise (in essence, choose random values for the tiles). You'll want to do this twice (once for X, and one for Y) and then do lookup for the texture

I like much your example, it looks like upside down buildings, but for me would be much nicer without the waved lines texture, just plain colors.

Please, could be possible to know what is this "Uber´s way of passing channels through the bomber" ?

is there any link or reference for more information or explanation abut this?

WOW!! Thanks very much for all this explanation, and is very interesting and useful, will have to see more about and experiment some things.

Good to know and to learn

Now after looking better and deeper the FF editor screenshot you have put I have realized that this nice and good shape you have shown here IS THE FF LIONFISH !!!



I would have never guessed if you asked what this source could be

Very well done !!!!

ALTHOUGH there is something strange, how can the bomber component preview be in black and white when you are feeding the tint color from the lionfish image ? , I think that probably this must be something about the conguration and settings of the bomber

lol SpaceRay you were playing with the filter he made haha. Should notice fishy things when you see them

Threshold's there because it's dumb. It has no reason at all. I think I was initially trying to modulate the size param by using the blurred image. But something went wrong.

Here's what Uber Says in part about this....

The fact that I separate my image into RGB channels is not important. I could just as easily used LAB. The only goal there is to get 3 greyscale channels ready for further operations. So now we need to "embed" the channel data without affecting the lighten operation. Inside the bomber this leaves us with the Hue and Saturation Channels to work with. Hue is nice and straightforward, but Saturation requires some massaging. First we have to consider that were only applying the tint at 0.001 or so. Therefore were going to need a levels on the other end set to the same value to restore the data. The contrast is there to prevent errors that occur when processing pure black or white. *The HSY extract was chosen due to the way it handles saturation. Other channel formulas showed remnants of the cell shape.

Here's the hopefully-easier-to-understand-explanation of what's happening.

The method here is as described: at the basis we're just trying to get 3 (RGB) channels through the bomber component. In reality, it's mildly more complicated. After extracting RGB, we then feed those channels into some assemble component to feed the data through. Uber's method requires that the bomber users lighten as a mode in part works best because of the way things are handled (math math math math). So here, Hue and Saturation were fed with Red and Blue channels (doesn't have to be) because well, both Hue and Saturation are the two channels here which aren't exhibited in the bomber, luminance is however, and this is why you can't use luminance, therefore we have the second bomber for the Green channel.

After compacting the information, we feed it into the tint color param of the bomber with a 0.001 (or values lower) of tint amount. What you're seeing here in this bomber is basically just the data being passed through, the hue information's almost invisible but it gets assigned per particle. Once you have the data going in... you wanna extract the data otherwise you'd be making a very pointless filter. So if we feed Hue and Saturation data... we basically need to get the same data. Easy: get extract HLS or HSY and extract hue and saturation channels out of the bomber. Uber describes that HSY basically just handels saturation better so that's why it was chosen. I can explain the details but lets not. Because the tint-values are super small (0.001) you basically get black when you output the saturation channel. This is why levels is used, it squeezes the values down so we can get just the data we want. Once you're done, feed all the black and white maps into RGB and you're done!

And that's the basic explanation of how that works.

I donno, I keep thinking there's a better way doing this. Like passing RGB and getting data out shouldn't be this complex, but because we're limited this becomes like the primary way.

Kingfisher becomes... very weird

Oh WOW!

Spikey kingfisher.

PRETTY SURE somebody has done some filter like this

Today I was in the trains just looking around at some of the ads. Most of them are just... awful then I found this one that looked awesome. I kinda went ahead and remade something resembling it but with my tastes.

I modulated the colors via image and also the size corresponds with the brightness of the image. (Image input = lifesaver default.)

pretty simple filter Lots of colorful results!

Really neat. I'd love to see more examples, with different inputs

Oh snaaaap better solution than mine haha. I tried to stretch the ends which went stupid. Thank you

Melty Paint dab dots thingy

cool, nice and curious, for you could be melty paint, but I am seeing another thing, this is like lots of colorful spheres taking off to the sky flying away from earth

WOW!! This looks really beautiful and well done !! It mat look like it has been done in Studio Artist instead of FF.

Like also the subtle coloring and watercolor like textures

Was bored waiting for emails to be written back. I spent my day just modeling, lighting, and rendering some scene in Maya. Added a slight filter to it but no textures yet. Well, you know where all the textures will come from.

Need a convincing garbage bag shader....

nice

Quick model ? , Wow, this looks really well, nice and realistic to be a quick model, you are a professional to be able to make this beauty so fast and easy.

Surely your game will be deseved a winner for graphics quality and innovation

Oh, yes, this is the nice and original avatar you have on the behance web and that I have seen already before when I have fallen in love ( wedding still pending) with your awesome "Dream about circles" also found on your profile there.

I actually created this in FilterForge!

When I have seen this before I already liked this and thought that you have done it with some filter similar to the excellent gradient circles style, but maybe I am wrong and you have done it in another way, anyway, they are nice and well done.

Simple stuff....

Skybase, I've been gone fr om the forum for almost a week, and now that I opened it up, one of the first things I thought were "Errr.. Did Skybase always had this avatar"?
Cool avatar, pops out of the page

I like the paint dots effect, it reminds me of something I used to do as a kid, wh ere I blew air into markers and had them spray ink droplets on the page.

Also, nice to see you have new models, I'd love to be able to do that, but I'm just beginning to learn 3D on my spare time...

Render times hit around 5 minutes per texture. It really doesn't matter in the end since they're all going to get painted over.

Well this filter was built mostly from scratch. I was just using the looks of your moss as reference for the nice texture. It's so nice looking I had to steal the look of it somehow

No, your part runs REALLY fast. The stuff I made = very slow thanks to all the details.

This project took a while just finding a couple images. I uploaded the entire thing on behance: http://www.behance.net/gallery/At-the...rs/4939775

It's got an interesting look to it, especially when you have so many different images that use the same technique
I find it amazing how you get such different look to each image, while there's also so much in common!
