Wonderful effect and elegant code . Thank you.

Thank you ReMake

Hello TR and thank you.

 

I just tried the filter and somehow I can not get my charcoal to draw like yours. My sketch is very pixelated even when I use the same setting of your video. I guess I need to sharpen the tip of my pencil.

[TechnoRobbo 1,157]

Eli reduce the distance to .5

[Eli 1,017]

I just did it but it did not change much.

EDIT: I adjusted the levels (more black and white) of the picture before applying the filter and this is what I obtained:

  Techno Robbo! Very nice plugin. Thank you for your effort.    I have 2 version, with or without color. I hope have done right.

[Red ochre 1,434]

Eli - The first one looks like it is highlighting the 'compressed' areas of a jpeg perhaps?

... but always keep your pencil sharp anyway!

[TechnoRobbo 1,157]

Yup - jpeg's have patterned compression artifacts that get highlighted by plugins that enhance edges.

[Eli 1,017]

Thanks Red and TR.

 

Is there a method to reduce those artifacts? If so could that be included in the filter?

Haha! Thanks!

Here's something to try:

After running the plugin with both check boxes checked, you should get something that looks like colored chalk on an old blackboard. Then run this CodeLab script:

// Submenu: Color
// Author: BoltBait
// URL: http://www.BoltBait.com
// Keywords: hsv|invert|color

void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect)
{
    for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
    {
        if (IsCancelRequested) return;
        for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
        {
            ColorBgra CurrentPixel = src[x,y];

            HsvColor hsv = HsvColor.FromColor(CurrentPixel.ToColor());
            int H = hsv.Hue;
            int S = hsv.Saturation;
            int V = hsv.Value;
            byte A = CurrentPixel.A;

            switch (Amount1)
            {
                case 0: V = 100-V;
                    break;
                case 1: S = 100-S;
                    break;
                case 2: H += 180;
                    if (H>360) H -= 360;
                    break;
                case 3: S = 100;
                    break;
                case 4: V = 100;
                    break;
            }

            CurrentPixel = ColorBgra.FromColor(new HsvColor(H,S,V).ToColor());
            CurrentPixel.A = A;

            dst[x,y] = CurrentPixel;
        }
    }
}

Hello BoltBait,

 

Will there be a dll for the script? (I do not understand code)   . 

[ReMake 668]

...Will there be a dll for the script? (I do not understand code)    . 

 

Today is not 1'st April, but still fun .

 

...So go to one of BoltBaits Post and give him a +1

[BoltBait 2,273]

No need to understand code in order to copy-and-paste that block of code into CodeLab.

[Eli 1,017]

Thanks BoltBait,

 

It really made me sweat the idea of using CodeLAb but I was so curious about the outcome of the script that I decided to try it . So this is the outcome :

I added a little gray on another layer.

I am sorry TR, I just realized that charcoal is... BLACK.

At it's base this plugin has a charcoal sketch like result. But that was the outcome not the intent. I changed the description since it's obviously a tool like any other with no real rules on how you eventually use it.

[Eli 1,017]

It is funny how things evolve.

Version 1.4 Incorporates part of not all BoltBait's Pastel Effect

for the full effect use BoltBait's Plugin.

I've found it to be quite convenient for producing line art of basic 3D models, like below

Maximilian! Very pretty presentation.
