Go APE

Been coding all day 🙂. A thousand lines of assembly later, this is the result... expect a release soon 😎. I know it looks pretty simple but this is one hell of a powerful APE in terms of color adjustment. It supersedes fadeout, brightness, unique tone and such and merges them into one mapper.

ooooooh that looks handy

Cool, now can you make one with a formulaic 'per point' expression option?

And what is that 'trans\texer' I see hey...?

Looks cool. Perhaps you could post a pic of the same preset without the Colour Map, just so I know what I'm looking for?

BTW, Is the Trans / Texer in there one of your new ones too? What does it do?

God, I'm so full of questions. 😛

lol, its funny cuase the first thing i picked up on (after pssh! winamp2.x) was "what in the hell is trans->texer?"


It looks schweet tho (im still trying to wrap my head around something that does fade out and unique tone)

That preset looks pretty spectacular. Put in another request for a pice without your new toy.

here is the texer thingy we were wondering about

DoH!

it looks kick-ass, do when are we expecting a release?

looks pretty damn useful... i think i appreciate now the work you must have put in to get it to go at speed (^_^).

AVS Wishlist?

This is seriously something I thought AVS needed to have for quite some time! I think we have someone working for the AVS Wishlist! Looks like some cool stuff.

I knew someone'd come along and do this someday 😉
/me hugs UnConeD :P

It looks amazing. I assume that it works thus: You have a list of colors (the slide bars at the top), sort of like this
Red
Yellow
Green
Cyan
Blue
Magenta
Black
and any pixels that are red get turned yellow, any yellow gets turned green, and green to cyan to blue to magenta to black, right? And if you wanted to you could create a list like this red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigo-purple-red so it went in a cycle without fading at all?



Also, since The Forward Flow is going nowhere fast, I've been putting together an AVS Resource Pack. Could I use your 3 Trans APEs in the pack? And CFP, when you get a real final version of your convolution APE (i.e., with ALL bugfixes) could I use that too?

I thought it was something that mapped colours of brightness (0..1) into a colour on the custom colour chart.

wow looks good!

was wondering, why your APEs never show up in the APE section in the editor. would be easier to spot them!

I reckon it is because seamless integration looks more professional.

I also know that when I get round to making some APEs (when I find my damn C++ CD) I would be insulted by them being listed in the same section as Fyrewurx. :P

By the way, your avatar rocks yathosho.

haha, alright! 😁

YES YES YES!!! I found my C++ CD! I'm gonna go figure out APEs!

Atero's wrong, Zevensoft is right... it takes a certain aspect of a pixel (red chan, green chan, blue chan, max chan or brightness) and uses that as the index in the gradient at the top.

So if you use a black-left-white-right gradient, it turns everything into grayscale. You can use it as unique tone by using a gradient from black to the tone color. But you can also do plasma/chrome-like palettes and more. Quite nifty 🙂

It allows any of the AVS output modes, except adjustable blend which I still have to do (but should be easy). The APE is quite fast (everything is unrolled, optimized MMX assembly) but of course if an existing component like unique tone does the job perfectly, choose that instead. A specialised component is always faster than a generic one like this.

My current version also allows you to load/save gradients to your harddrive.

I'm going to try and optimize it some more before I release it.

Oh and I'm out of internet until the 3rd of oct (typing this from a univ. computer) so you'll have to wait some more.

Aww damn :P
You should do something like a dynamic colorfade...I think it's in the wishlist several places. Where in the pixel section you get to decide how the rgb/hls values change (instead of the xy/rd values). Is that possible/plausible?

atero: yeah you can include my ape in whatever.

the more people it gets to the better really.

tx cfp!

cycler

just add a button to automaticaly cycle the map every x frames and it will be perfect!!!! congratulation for this one...can't wait any more 🙂

Sounds uber-sexy. Can we be expecting a number of preset palettes?

I want them now 🙁

Sorry, still internetless (public pc atm)... I've been working on it some more and it's now über-sexy: load/save multiple palettes, fade between them (onbeat, sequential), ...

Just hang on 🙂

Maybe a floppy disk could solve the problem?

😉

This looks like a great ape.
Unconed if you was a girl I would fall in love whith you now 🙂

Are there actually any female avs artists around? From what I've seen we're all male.

(correct me if i'm wrong - and apologies in case of offense)

I have just used 4 disks to transfer a 700KB file from my pc to here... not fun, all my disks are broken! I had to write a small utility to encode files w/ Reed-Solomon and then merge them on the other side 🙂 so they could be recovered when partially damaged.

you know, jheriko, i was thinking just that a few days ago

that is a proper question, however.

usually art is associated (sterotypically and maybe only in Redneck Iowa, USA) with women

i do consider math (and more revelently AVS) art

but usually (sterotypically again) math is assosiated with guys


so, where are the artsymathnerdettes?

(i say that with total malevolence: i consider myself a math nerd)
