Title: [IMAGE PROCESSING] - @rt!fact 0ry
Post by: Kirl on July 30, 2011

Here's my entry, I hope you like it, it's a bit funky weird...
Finnished it in a rush, as I canned my 1st boring entry (on which I wasted the majority of time). and started this a couple of days ago. I really like how the cam sound effect turned out, be sure to try the arrow keys for various shapes and sounds.

Click anywhere to change between text, DBF logo and webcam.

Keys:
left/ight: change shape
up/down: change scale
space: change blendmode (works best in cam mode)

Ctrl: toggles fps display and loops through sounds, FX And... blissfull silence!
+-: change the drawing speed, but use at your own risk, best watch the fps.

That's really great.

I even dig the unusual choice of sound!  Nice effects mix there Kirl, very good fun to play with.

Nice one, remind me of this effect (http://www.romancortes.com/blog/arcimbolder/) which is so cool.

Thanks all, I got some pretty cool effects with 1 of the 3 blendmodes (space) by scaling the shapy thingies!  :D

@rbz
That is cool, thanks for the link! Might give something like that a try next!

I really like the notion of reverse engineering images from simple shapes.
Well done with this too. Lots of neat effects going on I especially like the circles.

Cool entry - the third effect was my favourite, where it looks like the logo is under a puddle and it's raining on it.

The music also adds a retro atmosphere. :D

Thanks guys! :)

Personally I really like the cam with the sound effects that react to your movement (try waving your hand through the view), some sounds work better then others. If I had more time I would've set the sounds to the apropriate shapes and automated the scaling and blendmodes, now it's entirely up to the viewer to get some cool results.
The logo was squeezed in at the last minute for those without a cam.

Loved participating again, these challenges are so great for learning unexpectedly usefull stuff I probably wouldn't have looked into otherwise. And always a joy to view the other entries!
