Beta Gallery

Here are a few images I made with bomber's new image mixing.

How about my water caustics filter?
(the sand is actually generated in FF, but I pre-rendered it and loaded it as an image, so yes, this filter uses multiple images)

Using some new features to generate a Large/Small tiling using images. I threw in several of my pattern renders into the source.

here are a few more.


This image is an all green leaf type texture before FF. Then just using a number of colorful textures plugged into the color controls and messed with until it looked more natural.


This one I did after the leaf I think I used a light stone texture bg leaving some of the colorul elements and adding some other differing stone textures into color inputs.


This bg image is the structure that you can see but it was just BW greyscale before.


Then the daisy is of course one of the new installed images again using particle mode it blocked out certain elements on areas that were too light in color like the white and to a lesser degree to the yello and green yet applied the elements to the bug

You just made my day.

Skybase, would you mind sharing the photos? It is an interesting challenge..

Alright Skybase.. first attempt ready. I used the first 8 images.

Strategy: sel ect sample with least difference fr om average of all 8 inputs..

Because sorting is necessary, it is difficult to make a percentile filter without using a script.

Second attempt at object removal merging with Skybases imagestack.

The algorithm is somewhat complex and uses multiple steps.

1. calculate combined average: (src1 + src2 + srcN) / num_sources, use as reference
2. calculate table with differences btwn each source and reference
3. sort diff table
4. pick second lowest difference entry as new reference
5. in 3 passes sum the three lowest entries, each contributing sample is scaled by its inverse difference from last pass
6. pick second lowest difference entry from 3 pass result as final result

step 5 and 6 are quite hard to explain You might wonder why I use the second lowest difference entry. Since the original reference is an average of all images, the lowest difference result seem to contain too much bleeding from each image. The second lowest difference entry looks much better.

Here is the result (8 images used)

Here is the new intermediate reference used from step 4 and onwards. It is a composite of the samples with the second lowest difference from the initial average. The reference is replaced by a weighted sum in each pass in step 5

Seems like a great filter, how are you making it with lua scripting?

Cool, thanks Sphinx this works great.

There can be artifacts that you don't notice much but i guess it depends on the source images and the amount used also. Generally though this seems to be a great technique and has good results, nice work.

Thanks Sphinx for an advance preview of this filter. I was more than impressed by how few artifacts were left post processing.

Sprites on the Curve

I want Gradients Control component.

a more drastic change of settings

C'mon, where is everyone? We had a ton more posts in the beta 2 gallery...

Here's a silly one using the new color control and edge detector components.

Very cool Indigo..Like that one...
I know... Seems there was a new page in that thread every other day if not everyday..Everyone taken a break or just the usual internet thing and hang out here for a while then eventually go to another place altogether...

New version of Dabber uses Edge Detector
Also introduces some more parameters.

Very nice Skybase.
Since the curve editor is now a feature I have added it to one filter that I had for a long while now..This was actually many different fiters with different shapes but now its up to the user to control the shape....

Chuck, you just gave me a brilliant idea!!! *as StevieJ bolts to his lab* Just keep the coffee coming!!!

Collage Synthesizer .. Main source input is used to sel ect best matching areas fr om six additional image inputs. No original main source input samples are used.

WOW!!! this is really beautiful and very creative and great use for multiple images source. Great !! Looks lovely and it could have a great potential. Very well done.
