Reworked as a recursive dissipation effect after the first frame of Color Palette Map processing.

ReThink Color Palette Mapping

 

Rethinking 'old school' Color Palette Mapping as a resolution independent bezier path based effect that can be key-frame animated over time.

Color Palette TuneUp

 

Since we are cleaning up Color Gradient Mapping, why not dive into Color Palette Mapping as well.  I'm really starting to sense that these 'old school' algorithms can be reworked in new ways to greatly extend their range of potential visual effects.  Denoise is now in Color Palette Map IpOp.

ReThink Color Gradient Mapping

 

Let's approach the whole concept of color gradient mapping in a completely different way by using geodesic flow derived off of vectors.

First one was prototyped using V5.5 features in a long PASeq. I added some new feature options to the old standby Color Gradient Map IpOp effect so that you can just do it directly there now in a single action step.

Random 9 index color palette used to build a color gradient. Sorted by luminance and hue with L and H index mapping using Color Gradient IpOp geodesic algorithm option blended together in PASeq.

Different geodesic algorithm for the color mapping.

Color Gradient Denoiser

 

Added denoising options to the Color Gradient Map IpOp effect. Hue mapped a 9 index random palette into the source color gradient and then use the source image hue for index mapping.

IpOp Embed tRansitions 2

 

Color Simplify IpOp effect bezier embed into a paint action with no index normalize or sort.

Color luminance sorted the embedded bezier paths.

Horizontal position sorted the embedded bezier paths.

Size sorted the embedded bezier paths.

No keyframing of bezier paths, process each frame from linear 10 frame Transition Context.

IpOp Embed tRansitions

 

Fixed the color pass through issue with IpOp embedded bezier path start generator in paint synthesizer.

Using an IpOp screening effect that color palette maps as one of its options. The color effect output of the IpOp effect can now be used properly as the paint synthesizer coloring if the path color pass-through is turned on in Paint Color Source control panel.

Last frame issue for embedded bezier path paint synth auto-generation is fixed.

grid tRansitions

 

Fixed the color pass through issue when using the embedded Vectorizer sketch option in the paint synthesizer.  Using the fast spatial distance sort option here.

Hand Drawn Auto-KeyFrame Test

Adding some new features to take hand drawn sketches and convert them into self-animating keyframe animation. Drawing with the mouse does suck, but trying to use it as a feature in this particular example.

Quick Sequential Key-framing Test

 

I did not test sequential key-framing in V5.5.  Just tried it, still works.  There are some features we could add to make it better in pre-V6, so i'll look into that.

Key-framed embedded bezier paths auto-generated by Studio Artist V5.5.5 and then paint animated over time in a Paint Action Sequence (PASeq).

Watch what is going on in the symmetry over time.  Two different embedded bezier path auto-paint action steps are transitioning with different cycle timing.

Interesting virtual key-framing experiment using a single movie file keyframe in a Transition Context.  paint strokes are embedded bezier auto-paint derived off of a Vectorizer paint synthesizer embedding.

One of my beta testers asked how to do this kind of thing. Repetitive patterning based on a recursive geometric transformation.  I'm using a rotational warp, but you could use other approaches like angle modulation associated with the path shape generation in the paint synthesizer.

Modified one of the local attRactor paint synthesizer presets to be time particles, then let them free run with a single source image to build an animation.

Working off of a virtual source derived from 5 different keyframe images in a Transition Context that feed its output into the source area.

By controlling the mix of what gets feedback into the recursive processing you can start to build dynamic texturing effects.
