beto33 Posts: 38	I found a beautiful image made in Processing 2.0 language I'm trying to create a filter in Filter Forgue with no luck. Can you help me?

Skybase 2D/3D Generalist Posts: 4025 Filters: 76	Here's a very simple method to create a clean half-tone effect. There are a bunch of other methods and they're much much faster but they have minor issues. The use of the bomber does affect render times, but the results are much closer to how you want them. I set up a couple controls to get you started. The controls themselves are relatively simple to understand. If you have any questions, post em here for answers. Bomber HalfTone.ffxml

Skybase 2D/3D Generalist Posts: 4025 Filters: 76	lol. Wait. I know YOU can do it too! What's the point of me doing everything for you. So how about making it "homework". While FilterForge can't inherently do what Processing does, we can still fake output using whatever method there is. In the end the output won't be the same but close enough I guess. I figure I should start out by giving some hints. If in any case you still can't get it, I'll just throw up a solution here. The first hint: Thresholds and gradients, when combined, do much of what you want

beto33 Posts: 38	Thank for the tip Skybase. In fact, while experimenting (Im doing my homework.. promise ) I found new unexpected and cool results that lead me to new directions. I tried a little with gradients.. now going deeper. Regards from Mexico!!!

ThreeDee Lost in Space Posts: 1672 Filters: 112	Certainly doable. Simple tip: Make the same spacing for the lines and the dots. So, if you have 20 dots, you need 20 lines for them to line up. Advanced tip: You will need either Smudge (or Motion Blur) plus threshold to get the lines to extend from the first dot in any given line to the last one. Or actually a set of two of them, one for the left edge, one for the right. Consider this in-between step:

xirja Idididoll Forcabbage Posts: 1698 Filters: 8	The threshold is your friend, but mind the numbers on that and the tiles. Test.ffxml _____________________________________________________ http://web.archive.org/web/2021062908...rjadesign/ _____________________________________________________

xirja Idididoll Forcabbage Posts: 1698 Filters: 8	Many details to fine tune for the specific application, but the general concept is valid. _____________________________________________________ http://web.archive.org/web/2021062908...rjadesign/ _____________________________________________________

beto33 Posts: 38	thanks xirja!! I want to point out that darker areas of the example have smaller patterns and brighter areas have bigger patterns. How this can be done?

xirja Idididoll Forcabbage Posts: 1698 Filters: 8	Sure, ah, I think that's how it is. This was the image used: Reverse the connections and invert the colors on the threshold, if need be. Filter Forge is an experimental toolbox, and thats the mindset you need to have to make it a useful program. Or you can search through all user filters for a similar effect and then transform that to the desired likeness. _____________________________________________________ http://web.archive.org/web/2021062908...rjadesign/ _____________________________________________________

xirja Idididoll Forcabbage Posts: 1698 Filters: 8	So, for example, the first problem you posed can be roughly solved with a filter in the library from 2006: adaptive dots General advice: Try to get familiar with Filter Forge ( which might take a good many days! ), take the time to look through the library ( again, lots to go through ), find the best approximation to what you aim to accomplish, and then ask informed questions ( with examples of your progress ) as to what can be done to improve it. _____________________________________________________ http://web.archive.org/web/2021062908...rjadesign/ _____________________________________________________
