Graphic style filter of Doctor House TV series intro credits

I have seen the Doctor House Tv series intro credits and they have a great lovely graphic style that I like much and I found a plugin that makes it possible in Photoshop but is expensive.

Here is the full video to see the graphic style

All 3 House M.D openers/themes/intros

Here are some screenshots I have found as example









So I want to ask if you know and there is already some filter in the library that could do this kind of graphic style in FF.

The possible nearest filters I have seen are:

Film Noir by Carl



Analogue by emme



Bad Film by gws5597/URL]



[URL=http://www.filterforge.com/filters/4820.html]StevieJ's DreamScape - ColorTones



Foxxee's Mystic Mood Light





FOR ME NONE OF THIS GIVES THE EFFECT OF THE HOUSE INTRO
This are very good filters but for me is NOT the same kind of effect, I find that this ones above are:
more dark or more light than the House examples above,
or not as good the gradient effect around the edges,
or too much blur added,
or change the original colors too much,
and the shading of the colors is not the same from my point of view.

So Please, I want to suggest if someone want to make this kind of filter that could be interesting and very useful

Well this comes from the company AutoFX and is the Mystical Suite

Mystical Suite

I have not tried it myself and really do not know if this could give the same effect as the ones I have put from House TV series, BUT as they have many filters to make this kind of effects, I think that it would be possible.

Yeah Morgantao's pretty much got it. It's mostly just layered effects and the rest of it is really really having a good sense of design and a good eye. The filter's probably 10% of the whole effort. I assure you this is really just a string of adjustment layers in photoshop. You really don't need additional tools to do this at all.

Here's the potential breakdown of the filter just for starters:

1. Import image ---> pre filtering (curves or levels) ---> pre-hue/saturation
2. vignette (or any simple radial gradient) --> [multiply or overlay blend with hue/saturation]
3. use perlin noise and produce some grudge ---> [overlay blend to vignette]
3.5 ---> Add a blur with mask (may be slower to produce higher resolution blur.)
4. ---> color balance (separate RGB or HSL or LAB (if you really want to go hardcore) and use curves to adjust each channel.
5. Assemble each channel back to RGB, HSL, or LAB.
done.

The rest of it is tweaking the values around and that's what will get you the effect.

LOL Sskybase, something tells me writing that starters breakdown took you longer than it would take you to just build the filter

Thanks for the mini tutorial though, it's allways good to learn from the best

And the window built in image

I think if you want it to look closer to the House intro, you should use black and white sketches like the in medical textbooks.

Here's a google search that will show you many examples to test your filter on.

Well see, the whole "mini tutorial" thing I wrote is based almost directly off of my "Point and Shoot" filter. http://www.filterforge.com/filters/10007.html

Seems like you're getting there SpaceRay.

lol it's pretty much a combo filter of bits and pieces from the previously mentioned filters haha. Sweet stuff.

Here's some little bits and pieces that can be fixed sorta. Whatever. It's your call.

Good to know about the DAZ muscle search.
I thought the effect you want is mainly for black and white drawings, that's why I searched google for that.
If you want it to work on full color graphics then it's something else, and obviously the filter is different.

I like what you have done so far. It's good to see you're getting more comfortable with the editor

Yes, Carl As you probably have seen I have put your well done and wonderful filter in the first place of the examples, BUT after some testings I find that your filter is NOIR , I mean that the results are good but too dark for the effect I am looking and searching for.

I think I will probably use your for my next project idea: Gigerizer (inspired in the darkly effects from the illustrations of H.R.Giger.

you can control darkness

WOW!! Very good examples you have put, this are very nice and well done, with good effect and vignette and tint color

I do not know when I will be able to put this in the library, as I want to get as I want and I do not like much how looks now the vignette effect, and want to add also some more things, although surely will be within this week.

Yes please, Carl, you can upload the update to the library, will be good.

If you see my first post you will be able to read that this was a suggestion for someone of youthat would want to make this kind of filter that I think it could be useful and interesting. So I do not mind at all if you do it and even better coming from someone like you Carl. Great that you a done a NEW filter and not just an update to the Film Noir, and most surely is that I will like it

I know what is like because I started making this filter after the good and useful suggestions of Skybase, and got finally a simple filter that I have uploaded above BUT, as you say well, I got sucked into wanting more and having more things inside the filter to make it even better.

Thanks for making this filter and taking my suggestion into a new filter

Nice Effect on that flower

Although it has been a lot of time since this thread and the idea, I want to continue making it and find a good way to do it with and different to the ones already available in the library

Here is a preview version that still needs to be done better

Hy SpaceRay!

I have submitted my Letterbox Filter!
I think you can do something similar with it, too!

The Letterbox

...some more about it:

In this thread is not put WHY I have not continued making this filter

Reason 1 - I wanted to have well done high quality gradients with many different tones in a soft gradiation, but have not been able to do it yet, and also to add that ethereal look.

Reason 2 - Carl have already made a well done filter with this topic and even has named it HOUSE

House of SpaceRays' Lightbox

So I wanted to make it even better than this filter already is as in my opinion is not really the thing I want and how I see is done the House graphical effects, and they have more work than what the Carl filter can do

Here below I explain with examples what I mean that Carl filter could be made better to be really more like the House intro graphical effects

and here is shown also the high quality of the vignette large color gradients

You know for the hell of it, you should make it from scratch just because all these little detail studies you're doing are perfect for just getting you started on designing stuff.
