Graffiti fans_get your spraycans ready

Here's a preset I made for which I got the idea from the Inspiration thread.

It's graphitti in the subway. It does tags as you walk a long, with wicked styles. Its quite minimal but then I made this Avs with this intentionaly in mind, Which I find harder than mixing different things together.

yo check dis holmes.

oops 😳

edit wont let me attach🧟

not very noteworthy...somehow i get the feeling you've never seen real graffiti art...

Very empty walls. Increasing the number of superscopes helps, but then there isn't much variety. Instead, have the superscope(s) pick a random x and y variable on beat and move exponentially to that point(i.e. x=.95*x+.05*nx😉. Also, add on beat color changes to more than just shades of red and purple. The effect is nice though.

doubling that helps. for example, rxc=(rand...)/100; ; txc=txc*0.9+rxc; xc=xc*0.9+txc;

also, i've noticed that the size goes to zero at the x-axis - fix this 🙂

have you see the can from fsk? (the best IMO)

😁 here is a bad one 👎

That is a bad one. It doesn't do anything. I mean it really just sits there. Plus it says gra-it(I think it's supposed to look like it says grafitti, but it doesn't look much like it).

somehow i get the feeling you've never seen real graffiti art...

Shhhhhht .. I used to be in a crew called "VGA" Visuals Gone Abstract. We mostly did pieces (the mural types). In my younger more radical years .

So it's not code fantastic I'll admit that, I have got some more ideas for different styles on the spray movment. I went through about 50 different types of type coding combinations of sin and tan movments, this is the one I eneded on cause I got lost in it and got tired (one nights work). It's ok but kinda repeats on the "e" shaped letter, I had k's, j's, g's, m's, t's, i's, n's and s's all in different SSC codes.

I'm going to try and capture these shapes in code and then have it switch between them on beat or something. I was kind intending the subway wall to be kind flat because thats they best place to tag. and concrete walls well what else is there to say.

I was wanting to make the left drift last a bit longer whist keeping the movment of the spray at the same speed, couldn't find out how yet.
To make the wall drift across futher mabey another third of the screen distance.

I had the spray changing colours on beat but left that till after for shaded dot.

After I get the SSC to swith between V, i, s, u, a, l, A, g, n, o, s, i, a, I'll use it in a pack. One thing I wouldn't mind doing is have like a some bmp's that run along the wall like small posters or something

aww gee I thought it had quie a bit of impact. Yeh yeh needs more work as usual.

Viz😞

I didn't even realize that they were supposed to be letters. I still can't tell what half of them are supposed to be. Work on making this a bit more obvious.

yeh theres just an "e" that comes up every now and then in the one I posted I was just saying when I was playing around with the SSC's I got all different styles of letters and I intend to rope them altogether somehow. Still a few letters I haven't yet made. Each letter (or two) is contained in a different superscope.

Oh, sorry Visag. That might turn out well then. Try to combine it all into one superscope instead of splitting it up. This way you won't have to synchronize the scopes (I'm assuming you're going to try to spell Visual Agnosia or something). Plus it will be slightly faster.

yeh thats the idea I had in mind I'm studing how to switch to different SSC's on beat in the same SSC but in sucsession. I also got to get the scopes to form the letters. thats going to be fun...Also I have to simplify each scope to draw one letter only.

If I get it going and get a whole alphabet together. I might comission someone to write an ape that'll take the current track name and spell it out. That'd be cool ...yeh like mabey next year.

Cheers anubis I'll look at the changing ssc code you showed me.

hmm...you just gave me a great idea, visag 😁

what the idea about the ape that writes the track name ???? tell me, tell me, tell me ! ! !

if you do you'll let me use it wont you

actually it was about making a scope that morphs between the letters A, T, E, R, and O for the intro for my next pack.

and an APE that displays the current song name has already been discussed, it's been determined that it's impossible, as Winamp doesn't allow APEs access to such information.

Yeah, I already made a small preset that I was going to use as an intro to a pack I never release that smoothly changed between letters A, N, U, B, I, S with a nice 2003 SS floating around. Didn't really like the effect though.

I still like the scope I did in Neomorphism, from my first pack, that changed extremely smoothly between six music-responsive 3-d objects 😁 I never went back to it to find out how to make them random, tho :/

<edit> I forgot, I changed the name of that preset to PlaTonic Liquid </edit>

Btw the 'wall' on the back looks very weird to me. I guess it's supposed to resemble a subway wall or something, but this doesn't float my boat...

Some ideas:
- inversional relationship between the speed of the can and the thickness of the spraypoint
- use a dotscope with gaussian distribution around the center for an airbrush effect
- try to have it make actual graffiti motions rather than random sin/cos stuff (if it didn't have the name graffiti, I doubt I would've recognized it)
using some clever play with derivatives and digital differentiation (sum of derivative) you should be able to get some nice chaotic (in the mathematical sense) movements.

yeh ok all points duly noted. I think it was just the concept which I posted, I'm sure it doesn't float many boats as far as complexity and frillyness are concerned, but it was different was it not?. A step above wacking standard trans and render together?. i have been working on it more and have refined it slightly and still working on movements for different letters, is 41 degrees celcius in Adelaide at the moment (in the shade) and the nights aren't much cooler "Heat wave", so "sticking" to my computer has taken a back burner.. I've been down the beach alot. We need more air cond.

I guess I'll put more work into presets before I show them, I dunno I just get excited I guess.

haha heatwave, here if the sun comes out locals come out of the house looking at the sky saying "OW" and squinting. Small children wondering what the "bright orb in the sky" is. Life comes before avs, dont let it get in your way.

Bloody hot life, sport. eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh sitting in boxers sweating waiting for water in the fridge to cool down. Cant keep drinking beer or else I become Alcoholic. Walking bare foot burns the bottoms of your feet in seconds. Girlz in bikini's tho you cant complain!

girls in bikinis, bastard 😛. jk lol, Its 4am here and my ass is frozen to the chair.

Was playing around a bit with a spray-can like movement, and this came out.

Sure it doesn't look like graffiti anymore, but it's still neat 🙂. The scope's movement are defined using a differential equation, which is 'solved' with a quick hack.

Great for chilling out. It is actually music responsive in its movements btw, just not intended to be a party-preset.

very nice, love the crystal effect on the background after a while.

Nice, but doesn't look too much like grafitti (sometimes it does, sometimes it just looks like crystals). I like the brushes though, very realistic.

The scopes by themselves+slow fadeout are really neat...they look like those after-burn marks you see in crappy video recordings.

Just because the thread started as grafiti it dosent mean it has to stay as grafiti 😛, the presets called crystal fairy dance aint it.

wow very cool crysatal effect. I likey v much, preset is kinda cool to which I'm appreciating to no end at the moment.
