Looping Animations Challenge

WIP but wanted to get the ball rolling...







Love to see what you guys can come up with.

PS

Some inspiration here:

I'm using the free app ScreenToGif to generate APNGs from the image sequences.

If you squint your eyes you may be able to see an "F"...

Methods will be revealed soon. Glad to be back and thanks for the feedback!

WTF.............
Would be interesting to see how you are accomplishing this....

boxy zoomy thing

Those are fantastic emme!

Just a quick and simple 15 frames on this animation....

Good to see you around uberzev.

Taken the above and taken it to shapes.

A little flickering on this one....

Nice animations

This is drawn with a single free ellipse, using noise to modulate the origin coordinates, radius and color.

Nope, no bomber or loop used for these ones

I'm mapping all the position / color / radius info onto a random noise texture and feeding that into the shape component inputs. This way the component will draw all the overlapping shapes as one - no need for a loop or bomber. ( I suggest using the get_noise() function to generate the noise texture, as perlin noise doesn't have a uniform value distribution, which can mess things up)

There are some advantages to this method, like being able to draw fully continuous shapes, which would take way too many iterations with a loop to be practical. You can also do stuff like animate the number of shapes being drawn etc. The downside, perhaps not surprisingly, is that the result is very noisy and needs a lot of oversampling to smooth out.

Here's another example

Oh my gawd, guys!!! I'm intimidated!

Also that's a cool blog you linked to, Uber!

These are fantastic, guys! But, how are you doing them? I only yesterday downloaded and installed 11. I was only able to render out 90 single images using Kochubey’s “Snow” filter, but couldn’t find any way within the program to cobble them together in an animation. Can the program even do that yet or do we have to use 3rd party programs/apps to do that? This has been one of my all-time favorite wish-list items, so i hope to see this fully fleshed out soon! I think this is going bring a lot of positive attention to FF.

Ok, that’s what i thought from what i was reading. I’ll look into that .gif program since i dont have photoshop installed at the moment. Thanks!

More fun with lines at 29 frames....

Wow. Amazing stuff, everyone. I am afraid the rendering side of things has kept me from playing with animations so far, though I've had the option to dive in since I started doing cg art in the 90's. I can't afford to hit up a good render farm and my personal computers just haven't had the power for it. Seeing what people have done always makes it tempting to see if I can suffer through a week (or even just a weekend) of rendering just to see if I'd be able to do anything else on the computer on the side.
