Blobby Blobby Blobby!
« on: April 23, 2009 »
Here's something new I've been tinkering with.  I got a new novel the other day that has a cover like this (Charles Stross - Jennifer Morgue), and wondered how I might do the effect.

Source (blitz/blitzmaxblitz3d) and exe included.

Clever :)

Your code will never run in BlitzMax though, its not really compatible with BlitzPlus and Blitz3D. There are too many differences (one of them being that bmax does not use imagebuffers at all), so it would take some work to transfer it over.

Very original and cool transition dude. I bet its been a while since you've dabbled on the keys in a Blitz IDE? :D

This reminds me of mosaic work. Very artsy! It is very "organic" looking because you chose not to use a standardized grid.

This is Chuck Close, he has his own following because of his unique pointillism movement the style is a bit similar. He creates his own "pixels" by letting the colors mix in the viewer eyes. The cool thing is how he doesn't have a uniform shape or mathematical model for each pixel. I'd like to try something similar myself using just rgb and a standardized pixel shape.

I really like that, I wonder how it would look if it was copying a moving image of some kind too.
Nice one Jim :)
